Knowing where and when you can legally carry a concealed firearm can be a confusing issue. Unlike your driver's license, your state-issued concealed carry permit may not be valid in other states - even those that border your home state! Ignorance of local laws is no excuse. If you are caught carrying a concealed firearm, you can face serious legal repercussions including confiscation of your weapon and even jail time.
In this informational video, Concealed Carry Magazine Executive Editor Kevin Michalowski introduces the United States Concealed Carry Associations’ Concealed Carry Reciprocity and State Gun Laws map. This free, interactive resource helps responsibly armed Americans steer clear of potential legal pitfalls when traveling cross-country with their firearms. You can access this crucial information on your favorite mobile device, laptop or home computer. There’s even a free mobile concealed carry reciprocity app for convenient information on the go.

Do you have an interesting story while traveling with a gun? Comment Below 👇
I accidentally drove through Illinois with a gun. I was being very careful to obey all traffic laws.
I had a California CCW and used to drive to Idaho to visit family. Wife thought it was funny that I would stop 10- 15 miles short of the Nevada or Oregon Border (depending on how I went) removed the weapon, put it in a locked box in the trunk unloaded and ammo separate. That is until she got pulled over in Southeastern Oregon at 3 AM while I was sleeping. I woke up to a flashlight shining in my face. She had volunteered we had a firearm in the car. The trooper was polite and asked me where it was. I got out of the car under his direction and showed him were it was. He checked it, looked at my CCW and informed me that I was good to go. The wife never said anything about it again.
@@DTHRocket from what I know, if you have it disassembled and locked away in the trunk, you'll be ok going through Illinois
@@DTHRocket in Illinois, only criminals get to exercise constitutional carry
I drove 18 wheeler from 1989 to 2008 took my 357 with me everywhere I went, no permit. it saved me a few times but the one time in Baltimore I left it in my truck and got robbed on my way back from the store by a kid im lucky to be alive. Never leave home without it again still no permit state don't require it anymore
It’s amazing how legally armed, law abiding citizens doing the right thing can be treated like a criminal!
Blame all the taxes we pay to keep fat old politicians in office being lobbied and bribed all day
Its almost like gun control has never been about getting the guns out of the hands criminals, but rather making criminals our of the hands with a gun.
Shall not be infringed.

@@samreynolds3789 ......go poop., i think your tank is overflowing? It's coming outta your mouth.
We need one right to carry permit that is good in all 50 states.
We already do, it is called the second amendment.
Government is trampling on our rights.
You are so right. Good thinking.
John W. Peterson, we have that, it’s called the constitution, we now just need to get every state to start honoring this document!
We do, it's called THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!...
@Justin Sane I beg to differ-As soon as we drop "Maritime" law & return to Constitutional law....Sooner than you think! (Im betting before April 1, 2021)🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
I thought our right to protect ourselves with firearms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. It seems like it's being infringed.
*Is it! The US constitution allows you to carry a gun anywhere in the US.*
*Up to you if you want to follow unconstitutional state laws.*
It is
It is, but politicians and judges don’t read or ignore the Constitution they take an oath to support and defend.

It is going to get worse believe me.
The "legal system" is not simply complex, it is a downright mess !!! We need to clean up our gov't and clean up these senseless, "reactionary-type" laws that are totally insane.
You make an excellent point! It’s time for the US Supreme Court to lay down the law once and for all.

There has never been anything great about any authoritarian ruler of any nation. You are under a statist spell.
We live in a free country. We are free to do what they tell us we can and should do. Theoretically speaking, of course.
*All those laws are unconstitutional. You shouldn't need any kind of permit to carry a gun anywhere in the US.*
*SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is pretty clear.*
@jeff nomad - If we just “deal with it” then government will continue to erode our rights slowly. They’ve been trying for decades and we need to remain vigilant against it. There’s a reason we have the protected right to keep and bear arms, the purpose is to keep our government in check so we don’t have to “deal with it” whenever they want to be become over reaching and tyrannical.
@jeff nomad shows how little thinking you do. Afghanistan is a prime example of guys with duct tapes AKs and sandals are fighting the most powerful military on the planet.
@jeff nomad I read your comment and I think you are wrong because there are more armed Americans than cops and military together another thing that will happen it will start a civil war people say that the military will win well I live in Abilene Texas home of the B-1 if the civilians took over that base with all the bombs and ammo we have retired pilots that fly those plans see where this is going and countries that are against American will support this movement the Government does not stand a chance hopefully it never comes to this but it could.
@jeff nomad If enough people wake up, there won't need to be violence, shooting, or carpet bombing to change the world. Mostly we should be focusing on educating cops and military so they won't obey unconstitutional orders in the first place. The politicians are mostly girly-men with law degrees who rely on miseducated cops and grunts to enforce the unconstitutional laws.
@jeff nomad you are correct the military could kill every gun owner easily but that would defeat the purpose they don’t want us dead they want us obedient and easily controlled
Our #2A rights must be standardized for national reciprocity, similar to our drivers' licenses. Time to eliminate these vile, bogus "felony" charges.
Agreed, waisting tax dollars, time and is ridiculous…. These laws will not stop criminals from carrying anywhere. Just look at the statistics in states where guns are open carry/conceal carry…Just my opinion but criminals are looking for victims. Less potential victims = could equate to less criminal activity? Stats and common sense add up!
"Think about this.. you need to know all of the laws for all 50 states and how they interact." Gun control laws are pathetic!
Yes I was a truck driver , otr. No matter where I went , I always carried. New York City, New Jersey, it didn’t matter.
I was a "company driver" and their regulations prohibited any form of firearm in their trucks. I always complied with their demands...and if you believe that, I have a really nice bridge over the Mississippi River in Memphis for sale...cheap. Just ignore the minor crack in the structure.
Exactly. Anyone who complied with these ridiculous laws is an embarrassment
No point in following a law that benefits the criminals.
@@reb1050 hahahahahahahahahahahhaha LEGEND
Sadly, you would have been arrested for defending yourself in many states. It is wrong, but that's the way it is.
This USCCA system/site is great..but it illuminates the fact we live in a “‘police state’ country” where common citizens are expected to have lawyerly legal expertise but a cop can be wrong all day in a hundred ways without a single repercussion.
We need to educate cops and military so they will refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws.
yeah. thats why you need to carry (along with your firearm) a dashcam that records EVERYTHING. I had a cop telling me to turn mine off. So I said I'll turn mine off IF you take yours off that shoulder there and place it in your pocket.. or I'm keeping mine on. The cop didn't even bother to check my DL because I stood firm with cam rolling. yeah I had it unmounted and recording everything pointed right at his face.. so you thought I ran the reddy back there, huh? well this cam will absolutely PROVE that I did not! I actually asked him to repeat the law.. how much time does that amber need to hold have ANY idea? He had absolutely no clue. Yeah he knew he was wasting both our times. I asked him why don't you got out and catch the REAL bad guys?
I live in Wisco, too, and I routed my road trip West through Iowa, where my CCL is reciprocal.... purposely avoiding Minnesota. It's ridiculous that there isn't national reciprocity. Anything short of that, IMO, is an affront to 2A. Thanks for your continued efforts, USCCA.
NY gun laws are not about keeping guns out of NY. They are about extracting as much money as possible from anyone they can by elevating mistakes or misunderstandings to criminal charges and holding people as hostages for ransom.
Speaking about flying with a gun. I absolutely hate placing my gun in the hands of a guy with a flatbed cart that happens to work at the airport. Doesn't matter who he is. He's not me.
At least now he does not know which suitcase has a gun in it. Most PDs give out cable locks. Run thru mag well, or barrel. As well as locked hard case.
Kentucky has Constitutional carry Every state should for all law abiding citizens
Yes, every state needs a law that says you can follow the constitution.
So does Missouri since 2017.
@@nevadacario2000 I have my Florida CCW and I can carry in Tennessee!
Im in Indiana and that just got shot down a few weeks ago
I don't want a law that allows me to carry,
I want no laws that prevent me from carrying.
Like Vermont.
I operate on a "Don't tell" policy. Unless the police ask me if I'm carrying, I don't bring it up. I can't even remember the last time I was pulled over for anything.
Just so you know, they know if you have a permit. When they run your license and plate, their system tells them.
You can get charged in Michigan for not disclosing to a police officer during a traffic stop!
That may be true, but if they dont see it, they wont know. They have to have probable cause to search your vehicle, and you saying they cant does not justify a warrant.
@@4wheeling Consent must be freely given without duress.
When a peace officer says, "I can get a warrant", buggered search
I use to haul livestock, mostly racehorses, all over the country. I put my pistol in plain view whenever I got pulled over. I never had a cop anywhere give me crap about having that firearm.
That was some years ago though. The times they are a’changing.
My rule of thumb is to NOT fly. I'd rather drive myself, and have my firearm(s) at hand. This is why we need National Reciprocity - just like our Driver's License.
We shouldn’t need a license to carry in the first place tbh
I’d rather not fly either, but if it’s a 4 hour plane ride from Utah to Pennsylvania every few months during breaks from University vs 2 days driving, I’ll take the 4 hour flight.
I love flying, but flying with firearms is inconvenient.
I avoid flying for that reason plus all the other liberal freedom limiting reasons too.
Flying is now a bus with wings, I never use buses and if I did it wouldn’t be unarmed.
National Reciprocity is a MUST have for all law abiding citizens!!
I’ve been a USCCA member for six months now, The reciprocity map on the mobile app is awesome. It alerts you when going across state lines, the alert will notify you if your permit is accepted in that state. I also learned some states will accept your ccw but the other state won’t, for example there were two men that came from VA to Philadelphia and one had a VA ccw permit but it wasn’t honored in PA and he was arrested, but VA Honors PA.
How about we all just ignore these psychopathic control freaks? What would they do about that?
@@molonlabe8470i do. The Constitution lets me carry everywhere.
Why do cops do that? You tell them the truth and try to be kind and honest and now you are automatically a victim! Then we wonder why people lie, sneak around and do things illegally. When we are responsible and honest we get attacked. I dont agree with that.
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.
Agreed
Very much agreed!
There is nothing wrong with doing things "illegally" as long as you are doing anything wrong.
Its funny, its only illegal if the other party finds out, if they don't then its ok. Go figure, thats why the Constitution stays true.
If only we had a document that told the government what our rights where and that they couldn't violate them.
The Second Amendment the only right we need a permit to use.
Was thinking the Constitution but nah, that would be too easy for them.
It doesn't really tell us what our rights are.. it lists a few of them. If you aren't harming anyone, you should be left alone.
Great information. Keep in mind that transporting a firearm in a vehicle is not the same as concealed carry. A concealed carry permit isn't required to transport a firearm through most states.
Stay the hell out of FAIRFAX, VA . Transporting a fire arm with ammo in same compartment is a felony. I learned this 30 yrs ago. Gun should be in the trunk and any ammo in the glove compartment. What kind of protection is that BS !!! That was a night to remember... SOB.....
If it’s loaded I believe it is better double check because in Pennsylvania it’s considered CC and if you don’t have the permit you can not have it loaded and ammunition needs to be stored separately from the firearm and the firearm locked up in a lock case
Just drive! Don’t be waving the gun around! I traveled across the country with a .45 revolver for years with no problems.
You can come to my state MO - we don’t even need to get a CCW I got it once and never paid to renew / b/c we are constitution carry
The imposition of "prior restraints" on the exercise of constitutionally secured liberties is unconstitutional according to Supreme Court precedent. You know, things like, "Universal Background Checks," and "licensing schemes."
We have the same right in WV but I choose to keep my concealed carry permit active because of the other states that recognizes reciprocity with a valid CCP.
Yep, good ole constitutional carry.
States that are passing constitutional carry are passing a law that says its OK to follow the constitution.
That is Wile E Coyote smart right there.
If you have a valid Missouri CCW permit and enter a Missouri business that prohibits firearms and you're discovered, they can only ask you to leave. Under the same circumstances if you're carrying concealed under Missouri permitless carry law, you can be arrested. That's a big difference and why you should get the permit. Also you get multiple State reciprocity with a valid permit.
@@DB-xi5hc The fact you were arrested and someone else wasn't for the same activity would actually be a very good defense. The law is arbitrary, capricious and inequitable - not to mention UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And, ALL State "licensing schemes" (their term not mine) are unconstitutional. Read Dredd Scott v. Sandford (1857) it's relatively short and quite eye opening. And, it's never been overturned!
The map is very helpful! I really appreciated the info on how to fly!!!
In Missouri you can drive with a loaded pistol in your cupholder. Cross the imaginary line into Illinois, and this makes you guilty of a felony.
@Nate dog Great advice!
Right and wrong change depending on your location
"Looking at you New Jersey" I want out of this state so bad man
I left Jersey. You just have to make the decision then plan your transplantation and go.
Left in 2000. Born and raised. When i left and crossed the border I began to realize that I had rights that dirty JerZ had robbed me of my whole life. It's a whole other country out here. Never going back.
@@usapatriot7322 Agree. Going to texas as soon as possible, already was planning to but with how much they've been crushing it with gun laws lately, I'm that much more excited to go
I bought your company's "The Travel Guide For American Gun Owners" because I took a trip from my home state (MI) out to Montana's Glacier National Park this summer. That book made it so easy to figure out how to store my firearm while driving and if my permit was accepted by the state I was in, etc. It answered a lot of the common questions you would have from state to state such as, do you have to notify an officer when pulled over, how should the gun be stored, etc. I'd highly recommend this guide to anyone that travels a lot and wants to take their gun with them!
I recall driving from N. Carolina to Montana. Before leaving, I had checked USCCA website to learn which states honored my concealed permit and which did not. I avoided trouble states like Illinois. Other than that, my trip was very pleasurable and without incident. Thanks USCCA for providing this up to date info for us "worldly travelers" ! WWG1WGA
i did the same thing when driving from Texas to Missouri. Check their website, called them and they cleared a bunch of questions. It was nice to travel armed but at the same time doing it the right way
It's not just carry, in some states just transporting the unloaded firearm or just a magazine can cause a problem.
ESPECIALLY IF 👩🏾🦱🧑🏾🦱👨🏾🦱🧑🏾👨🏾🦳👴🏾🧑🏾 skin
Also, many knives are prohibited by the ruling classes in many states also.
What needs to be done of course you and I and all of us realize this is that all 50 states must respect the Bill of Rights, the first amendment and the second amendment, your advice and your knowledge about the confusing and conflicting “laws“ are very much appreciated
I recently drove from Georgia to Pennsylvania and back and I referenced your laws/reciprocity resource before traveling. Thank you.
So much for "Shall Not Be infringed"
The great thing about living here in AZ becomes a bit of a detriment to driving with a firearm. AZ does not require an FOID card to purchase guns and ammo. Additionally, CC and OC do not require a permit and, with few exceptions, both are allowed anywhere in the state.
I obtain my concealed carry in Louisiana and the instructor informed me about Florida's Reciprocity. So I obtained a Florida permit just like you said. A year later, with me not knowing, Louisiana passed a Law not recognizing Florida's Reciprocity. Be careful laws change.
I'm a Pennsylvania resident. I live about 20 miles north of Philadelphia. I can remember when a LEO in Philadelphia tried to charge me for carrying concealed ILLEGALLY even though I have a valid permit to carry for the State... Apparently they felt as though being a "Class 1 City" gave them the ability to refuse recognition of a non-city issued permit. The Sergeant who came to the scene per my request straightened the situation out, and I was on my way.
Anytime a friend gets a permit to carry, I always... ALWAYS make sure to tell them NJ is a NO GO ZONE.
Thank you for the map you all made, it is AWESOME and super helpful!!
Great video and info. When I travel I check any state I am going to or through to see what their laws are so I can avoid incidents. I will however say I think that if you are in a vehicle whether that gun is loaded unloaded or whatever as long as it stays in the vehicle it shouldn't matter
I had to drive from Michigan to Minnesota a few months ago. I pulled over at a gas station in Indiana to lock up my gun before going through that bit in Illinois. I'm good in WI an MN. Same thing on the way back...stopped somewhere in WI to disarm. Did not want to take a chance in IL.
For reference check out 430 ILCS 66/40 subsection e specifically.
You’re allowed to keep your handgun loaded in your car if you have a permit from your resident state. Just keep that 66/40 screenshotted or printed if you’re pulled over and get asked if you have a gun in the car because cops aren’t lawyers and don’t know the law. Remember as well though that IL definition of concealed firearm means loaded or unloaded as reference when reading that statue
If it’s in the truck I wouldn’t never disclose that to a police officer anyway
Traveling across country and you provided a fantastic resource. Bravo!
Y'all are gonna have to update Texas on that reciprocity map. We're going Constitutional Carry.
Great video. It is crap that we have to go through this. If I can legally buy a firearm I should be able to carry it anywhere. I can see places like courthouses being off limits but Post Offices and schools should not be. Gas stations, stores, places to eat, or any other place you might have to stop during a road trip should not be off limits for anybody.
The courthouses are most certainly places where we should be able to bring guns and any other weapon we choose to bring. Judges and cops can be some of the most tyrannical, evil people on the planet. It might help keep them in check if we started bringing our firearms there.
Glad I am a member of USCCA!!! I live in Oklahoma, which is now a Constitutional Carry state.
Very educational and informative, I frequently rely on the information on your web site to ensure I am aware of laws and how to be a responsible fire arms owner.
This is EXACTLY what I've been wondering, as I'm currently moving from ID to FL. Thanks!
I wish we had more police officers like you
Yeah he's the 1%
I just flew to Austin, TX from Fort Myers, FL with my handgun. Followed all the policies and got through with flying colors. They didn't even open the hard case to see if it was secured correctly!
Thank you. Your app is great and recognizes my membership. Awesome info, keep it coming.
when flying you gotta talk to the first desk you can find about getting that checked bag, w/ unloaded gun in hard locked case ,taken and put on a plane by staff, separate from you.
Great app for helping RV’ers who carry, thanks USCCA
What if my concealed carry gun self-identifies as an "undocumented immigrant?" It should be able to go anywhere, right?
Thank you Kevin. Always great information.
I am an ELITE MEMBER of USCCA.
Did research about them before I even bought my first firearm.
Very SMART decision I made to become a member.
Anytime you have a COMPANY like this on your side. The better and more informed you shall be!!
THANK YOU USCCA for your help in protecting us LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!
You help will never go un-noticed!!!!!!
You all need to do a video on open carry because its totally different than CCL's and you dont need a license or permit in alot of states
Thanks Kevin! Question, as a newbie, when driving through/in a state that does not recognize my ccw (Pa & AZ), does the ammo need to be in a separate place than the locked up firearm? Firearm locked up in trunk/ammo in glove box or can ammo clip be separate form the gun but i the same locked carry box? Thank you
There is a Federal law (18 USC § 926A) that details these specifics that we cover on our Travel page here:

@@USCCAOfficial Thank you!!
Get yourself two hard lockable boxes. One for ammo, one for your firearm. Try to stay away from obvious gun safes.
The interactive map is a great tool that my wife and I used as we drove across country last fall. I found it to make things very clear as to whether we could self protect within the borders of some states. Needless to say, we have very little desire to re-visit some of those more restrictive and vulnerable states. National reciprocity would make things so much easier and more comfortable to know we could self protect no matter what state in this great nation we chose to visit again.
Safe travels to all!
I just stay out of the blue states. I can't stand commies anyway.
Great video. Lots of good advice here. Thank you guys.
Not just the gun, some states restrict ammo.
And if you're a commercial driver this is doubly important, know your routes and know the jurisdictions you'll pass through and especially the ones where you'll shutdown in. Last thing you need on top of an issues you may have when Joe Random cop decides you're the recipient of his random level 1 vehicle check.
Cops dont even realize you can drive in any state with any valid state license, plus also a Canadian license. A recent video from Beverly Hills had a cop hassling a dude with a Canadian license. The cop told him he can only drive in CA with a CA license. Totally not true but the cop was going to impound his car as he did not have a CA license. If they act this way over a drivers license, I can only imagine the overreaction with an out of state CCL.
Thanks for this video! Its about time this hit the net!
I love those free classes for Elite members!
Should be FOR ALL MEMBERS ! EVERY Company is PIMPING us
Don't know when this video was made, but Michigan honors the Wisconsin resident permit.
The map shows that
Good to know thanks
I do not understand why anyone wouldn't like this video as it contains extremely relevant and accurate information for legally armed citizens. I definitely cannot agree we must have multiple restrictive laws that should not be part of our states, but that is not the message here, just factual. Kevin does a great job and the USCCA is a valuable asset for the community. Keep up the great information and most valuable content for us!!!
Did it about 5 months ago. Moved from Virginia to Arizona. That's an easy trip because all the normal routes only take you through gun-friendly states where your concealed carry permit is honored. Northern routes are far more problematic thanks to Illinois and the like.
I just don't travel to blue states I live in the deep south we are civilized down here.
There are plenty of states in the north that have Constitutional carry and are civilized.
@@ecollazo67 You don't have stand your ground like us and shoot someone in self defense in your blue state and see how that goes for you. In my red state even if you do shoot someone the chance of being charged criminally is slim and if you get sued they can touch your house even if they win.

1:30 in and I'm already changing the title in my head to "where are worthless places to avoid in America."
Do you have information regarding gun laws in the reservations? I'm from Arizona and can't get much info. If you drive from Flagstaff to Page (in order to go to southern Utah) you drive through the Navajo reservation. In New Mexico the same problem. I have CCW but am not sure how legal I am inside the Navajo Nation.
Great info, thanks Kevin!
I used the USCCA reciprocity map when my wife and I went on vacation. It works great. One suggestion, it would be nice if the USCCA made a state specific video on gun laws for each state. Sort like, "watch this 20-min video on NC gun laws" and you're good.
Good idea 👍
Great idea! Though with how often some of these laws change, we might be reshooting that every month!
We have done something a little like this with blog posts on our website for each state:
www.usconcealedcarry.com/blog/wisconsin-gun-laws-what-you-need-to-know/
Thank you for your feedback and video idea!
430 ILCS 66/40) Sec. 40 (e)
Carry your loaded concealed firearm in your vehicle in Illinois without Illinois CCW or reciprocity, just leave it locked in the vehicle when you step out of the vehicle. See subsection b of sec. 65 for definition of "locked" in your vehicle. You must be legally allowed to posses under federal law.
If it’s in your truck why does it matter they won’t know and can’t search the truck with out probable cause or a warrant
Thank you! How do we find information about non residential state CW permit and how to acquire them? I talked with a instructor at the class and he briefly mentioned it should I just follow up with him?
Amazing info for all citizen and I love the video. I certainly don't mean to be rude but I just wanted to share one thing as a person W/4 out of state licenses and I love to study the laws in other states. Michigan is a rare state has reciprocity with all 50 states, as long as you have a resident permit from they state you live in and are just visiting you can carry in Michigan. The state of Vermont is the only exemption( since they don't issue any type of permits).
*make sure to read upon the MUST INFORM laws even though their a pro-gun state and MI does NOT accept out of state permits of any state.
Those laws are unconstitutional and I don’t comply
That sounds good on the internet.
I agree with you there. Besides, we do not have to comply with laws that violate our civil rights.
A good move by the federal government would be a bill to satisfy all 50 states regarding CCW which would help with all these inconsistencies, but instead continue to propose idiotic unconstitutional bills our founding fathers put in place to prevent a corrupt takeover by tyrannical extremists...
Cruieth Maximuss, it all started when they gave states individual rights to self govern! My personal opinion is that the state government has to abide by the US Constitution period!
@@shawnjarman9860
The founding fathers wanted states to be self governing (limited federal government). No different than the federal government they are not allowed to violate the constitution.
We just don't stop it from happening.
It's all about money.....bottom line....
Thanks for the information I'm moving to NJ so this map is very important to me. Again thanks.

I was floored when you said the Michigan part then saw the correction. I was positive you were wrong and ready to start googling lol
"until we get to national reciprocity..." Oh, you mean the 2nd amendment which already exists?!
Not mad at you, Kevin, don't get me wrong. I'm sure that you feel the same way.
Dude you should have just came to ohio we are accepted everywhere except California ( GO FIGURE. ) and New Jersey
Your Ohio permit is not accepted here in Connecticut, which does not recognize the permit of any other state.
Nor D.C.
There are more exceptions than you're listing.
Great video, thanks a lot for explaining it. I want to go on a cross country vacation in our RV, and I refuse to go unarmed, this is a must to know.
Question, is there a way to be legal in all 50 states by the means of obtaining non resident permits on states with no reciprocity if you are from Florida?
As a New York resident it’s insane. You need a different license In the 5 Burroughs of NYC separate from the rest of the state . And good luck getting that license.
So much for the "right to keep and bear arms."
Just imagine what the NON-LEO have to go through.....
Are the permits a one time payment per gun or do you have to pay it yearly if you're going back and forth states in america?
CC permits are like your Drivers license you have to pay to renew it after I believe 5 years
In Az we don’t need any permits. Carry open, concealed. How do you get all these permits? It must take forever!
But you have to be an AZ resident. Also the state of Arizona turned blue.
New Jersey not only has magazine capacity bans, but they also have general hollow point bans. Can't even transport hollow point ammo via interstate transport. If caught they will nail you.
Correct =/
They certainly have some of the most restrictive laws out there:

Avoid NJ, NY, and MD like the plague.
I’ve flown from Nevada to Kentucky, without my bag containing my firearm getting checked by TSA. On the way back, TSA in Kentucky left a note stating they went through my bag containing my firearm. So yes, expect to get checked one way or the other.
I live in Philly and go to Jersey frequently. It’s a super frustrating state with that😂
Great Stuff! Thanks Kevin.
we need a law that clearly states that honest citizens have a right to carry weapons
the word "weapon" has intent,
Firearm does not.
That type of language can make difference.
NY was worried that you bought something without paying TAX! LoL
Good info. Thanks for posting.
Conceal carry. Problem solved. It's kind of like a wallet. If you need it, use it. If not...
I have a list of states with concealed carry reciprocal agreements with my own state of North Carolina. When I do travel by car, I make sure to detour around states such as New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, California, Oregon and Washington.
So glad I clicked on this video. As a truck driver who carries this app will be very handy
