ryan_j 0 Posted May 30, 2014 I think the pa AG is now negotiating with Utah to allow Utah resident permits and visa versa. At least that's the information I read on their website. Oh I know that. I think (I'm hoping, anyway) that Utah may be trying to get the agreement to where the non-resident permit would still be attractive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Utah needs to tread carefully. After expenses they ended up with a $2M surplus from permit fees. If it loses reciprocity, not as many will apply for it, and that revenue will be gone. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=27268239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HBecwithFn7 296 Posted May 30, 2014 Oh I know that. I think (I'm hoping, anyway) that Utah may be trying to get the agreement to where the non-resident permit would still be attractive. You almost had me with Arizona, but then I read the clause in the agreement where it says "PA will give full faith and credit to AZ permits issued to *residents* of Arizona..." Which clause also seems to be in the revised agreement with Florida. I'm pretty sure it will also be in the new agreement with Utah, and will most likely be coming to the agreement with Texas (written by the *former* AG). It's what the current AG wants. Either she is screwing us, or NJ is screwing us by denying almost all CCW. I wonder which is screwing us more.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeerSlayer 241 Posted May 30, 2014 It's a good thing I went to Rutgers; I'm used to getting screwed. I think all of us with a college degree got screwed, regardless of where we matriculated... It took me till 30 to pay back the 80k in loans. And my tuition was half of what it costs now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H.M. Murdock 0 Posted May 30, 2014 PA AG website updated today: http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/crime.aspx?id=184 What's interesting is that UT is now listed as a Category 6 state in addition to being a Cat 4 state. I know Utah allows permitless open carry (as long as you don't have a round in the chamber) but I thought concealed required a permit. It does. It's an A misdemeanor if it's loaded, B misdemeanor if not. The latter is often overlooked with officer's discretion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't unless you have Florida already and never plan on traveling to Washington state. The Utah alone still gives you carry rights in 31 other states, as well as the ability to vehicle carry in PA. If you plan to OC when traveling to PA vehicle carry woud be convenient.

It's also cheaper to maintain Utah ($51.00/5 years) than Florida ($112/7yrs). I'd get FL if you need New Mexico, which UT doesn't offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryan_j 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Call DESPP special licensing and firearms unit at 860 685 8920 and ask for a packet. You need a permit from any other state first. For training they want the NRA basic pistol course. Follow their instructions. For the reason put "all lawful purposes". Permit arrives in a few months.

Jfoster99 80 Posted June 2, 2014 How does one go about getting their CT carry?You need a CCW from another state first. Then you can apply.

ryan_j 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Out of state is actually easier than resident in CT. For resident you need a temp permit from your local selectman and often they delay and put up roadblocks. It should be noted that CT is May issue but acts more like shall issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryan_j 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Has that changed any since Newtown, or is it about the same? It just takes longer now for everyone because they are swamped. You also need a pistol permit or eligibility certificate to buy ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted June 3, 2014 You nThey require NRA Basic Pistol for training or something similar. Correct, they have CT specific classes at sig sauer academy which is not NRA basic, but CT accepts that training. The state's requirements are at least 8 hours with live fire. However, NRA basic fits the bill and is good for other states like FL, AZ, ME and NJ (whenever that happens). I tell people who want nonresident CCWs to just do NRA basic just in case they need the CT permit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took my basic pistol class from him. Highly recommend everyone take it as well if your planning on obtaining any non resident permits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted June 3, 2014 It's a good idea to take basic anyway as you shoot more varieties of different guns. You learn semi auto and revolvers. Most of us know how to shoot but for rank beginners it would be nice to get exposure to both. There were things I didn't know that I learned in the class. It made me a safer and dare I say better shooter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also learned I really like shooting 1911's and have bought 2 since I took the class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revenger 473 Posted June 4, 2014 Ammoland had an article about the PA AG cancelling the VA. reciprocity and how she plans to go through every state. I wouldn't expect any relief until she is stopped. If there are any PA citizens reading these forums I hope you understand that NJ style freedom control is coming to your state via this AG regardless of what your state constitution states. This Obama administration follows no laws. start taking action now. ' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted June 4, 2014 She is and she won't stop. The real sad thing is that if we lived in a total ban place like DC we could get a PA LTCF. But because we live in may issue NJ we can't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
