Nearby states that allow you to apply for non-res concealed carry permit

[sroc112 24]

What states near by us here in NJ allow non-res applications for concealed carry permits? If any of you guys on here have them, can you chime in with how the process went to obtain each?

 

Thanks!

If your primary concern is to CC in PA...the best option is to get your New Hampshire NR permit.  To the best of my knowledge it is honored in PA.

 

If your primary concern is to simply get a NR permit...then you should look into Virginia and/or Florida.

Anyone on here have a new hampshire permit?

[67gtonut 847]

Those of us that have them have.....

 

Florida

Utah

Virginia

Texas

New Hampshire

 

 

New Hampshire is the easiest and it covers Pennsylvania....

 

Florida is very popular.... Requires proof of live fire course....

 

Virginia also requires live fire course and is the most expensive based on per year cost

 

Utah requires a Utah based course... That can be taken locally

 

Texas requires you to go to Texas

 

Others will correct me if I am wrong... LOL

So if you have a permit that covers PA, you must transport the weapon and ammunition through nj as you would normally? What if you got pulled over, nj you must be going directly to/from destination such as range? Is it ok to say your destination is simply going to pa for the day and you have a recognized ccw permit for there?

 

What about if your going to a state that is recognized by your ccw but you must pass through a state that is not? Always keep firearm in vehicle in the same way that you would if going to a range in nj? Then when reaching the state that you are allowed to carry in you can load magazines and holster up?

As long as you are going to/from your destination and not making any inreasonable pitstops (and have the firearm properly stowed), you'll be fine.

Yes, in accordance with exemptions.

Debatable.  IMO...the best practice is to exercise your 4th and 5th...you don't ever have to disclose your destination or reason for travel.  LEO can ask...you don't have to share.  PERIOD.  

 

If you choose to answer, then the best answer would be the truth - which means that you are traveling to a range (they have them out-of-state).

If traveling "through" a state, then FOPA applies (IIRC...it's unloaded, locked, NOT in glove compartment).

 

 Then when reaching the state that you are allowed to carry in you can load magazines and holster up?

 

 

Let me ask you...once you leave a state - are you still subject to that states travel laws?  Do you have a recognized permit in the other state?

[sroc112 24]

All of my questions are being asked assuming that one does have a permit for that state of destination. I do not have one yet, at this time.

[Lambo2936 297]

Thanks for asking this.. was wondering myself. Anyone know the specific process as far as the NH CCP? Does it cost a ton of money or anything like that?

[Soup76 4]

I do not have a NH permit...but it appears that it's as simple as filling out the application and mailing it in.

 

I would include a $100 check made out to "STATE OF N.H. - TREASURER"

As of today (7/10/16) it seems that of all the above listed states...PA will only recognize NR permits from Texas and NH.  So one might argue that a weekend trip to Texas would be the best value, based on current reciprocity.

 

Rationale = Texas NR is valid in PA and DE (plus 29 more states)...where as New Hampshire NR is valid in PA, but not DE (and only 24 more states).

 

No harm in gathering the rest...reciprocity can always change in the future.

Other states that are relatively easy to get are Arizona, Maine, and Connecticut.

[Lambo2936 297]

Was just looking at the application for NH, and i don't know if they haven't changed the form yet, but it states that it is necessary to provide a copy of  your in-state Concealed carry permit or you will be denied. If i remember correctly, this was recently changed. Can someone confirm? Don't want to throw away 100$..

[sroc112 24]

I will look into completing the NH application, and next time I'm in Tx I will look into theirs. Sucks I was just out there for 2 week in June but probably going back in September.

 

Thanks for all the input

According to the following thread...

...some people have submitted with the current form and NH has issued to the Non-Resident.

This thread is confusing. Hard to tell who is getting theirs using an existing non res Id, who is getting theirs using just a nj fid, and who is not getting it.

 

So for concealed carry in pa, the nh and tx non res I'd are best? I see a lot of mention in that thread about a Utah I'd as well.

[67gtonut 847]

The PA Attorney General cancelled the Utah reciprocity ......

[sroc112 24]

More or less, would a NH non-res permit be sufficient? Or is it necessary to look into others such as Texas, Arizona, Maine, and conn?

For those who hold a Non resident Utah CCW only.  Same with Florida, non resident FL CCW not recognized in PA.

Works for now, I would keep up on PA law however, history has proven the agreements change fast under PA DA Kane.

Yeah well...... I naturally assume we are always talking NON Resident on a forum based in NJ.....  LOL

[sroc112 24]

So how many of you guys on here who have existing non-res ids carry on a regular basis when out of state?

[Soup76 4]

The only Non-Resident permits that PA honors, that are likely obtainable are NH and TX.

 

Current reciprocity for PA/NH has been in-place since 2004...and PA/TX since 2005.

I seems that those who sent a copy of their Florida and Utah CCW to NH, got their permits. Only 1 or 2 people sent it with just their NJ FID card and have not yet been approved!

 

I am patiently waiting for my Florida non resident CCW before applying for my New Hampshire! I will NOT take a chance at FOREVER having to check the YES box for "Have you ever been denied

a CCW permit by any state"!  Then having to explain myself!

 

Trust me, Take the Utah or Utah/Florida class. When you have your non resident (From any state) then apply for NH non resident.

Connecticut only accepts Connecticut permits.

How can you go about finding/scheduling a class that is approved for the Florida permit?

[Soup76 4]

Take a look at this link...it should get you started in the right direction.

 

If you are military (or former military)...no training necessary - simply submit proof of service.

 

Also..."Any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course"... http://www.nrainstructors.org/search.aspx

[JohnnyB 4,320]

Call Anthony Colandro at "Gun for Hire"!   888-Gun-For-Hire (486-3674)  He will point you to the closest class. They will supply everything

including the forms, pictures, training and fingerprints! Probably much easier than the route I took!

I used my DD214 as a Navy vet for training but had one hell of a time finding a PD that still fingerprinted with ink!

[T Bill 649]

Don't know where you are located. Shop around, lots of courses offered for Utah and Florida.  We can help you better if you can give us the county you are in.
