njpilot 671 Posted February 2, 2016 Is this something new or are you going by the old story where VA was dropping 25 states, then reversed that last week? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9X19 125 Posted February 2, 2016 Yes, I thought this was reversed by VA? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c.harold 0 Posted February 2, 2016 National reciprocity would not help those of us in NJ. The proposal introduced would still require a permit from your home state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emortal 6 Posted February 2, 2016 National reciprocity would not help those of us in NJ. The proposal introduced would still require a permit from your home state. This is irrelevant, just because the law wouldn't immediately let non resident permits carry doesn't mean it wouldn't topple NJ. The 4th Amendment ensures equal protection under the law. If national reciprocity is a thing, you can't continue denying permits to residents while non-residents are free to carry here. This is the only reason why they can currently justify almost wholly denying permits...no one else is allowed to carry here either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CageFighter 236 Posted February 2, 2016 if u wanna carry in VA, apply for their non-resident permit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus it gives us leverage when other states can carry here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fslater 62 Posted February 5, 2016 I agree with the above. If national reciprocity were passed and every other states ccw holder were permitted to carry in NJ, but a NJ resident had to show impossible justifiable need, I don't see how the top court could not either strike down the justifiable need requirement, or rule self defense is justifiable need being out of state ccw holders carry in NJ freely.

Agreed, but unfortunately it's all just theoretical wishful thinking at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted March 2, 2016 On 6/1/16, Virginia will recognize ALL CCW from any state. VA has reciprocity with 30 states untikl then. Talk about a reversal. This is from the VA State Police website: EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2016The holder of a valid concealed handgun or concealed weapon permit or license issued by another state may carry a concealed handgun in Virginia provided: the holder of such permit or license is at least 21 years of age; and the permit or license holder carries a photo identification issued by a government agency of any state or by the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S. Department of State; and the holder displays the permit or license and such identification upon demand by a law-enforcement officer; and the permit or license holder has not previously had a Virginia concealed handgun permit revoked. The legislation also provides that the Virginia State Police in conjunction with the Office of the Attorney General will work with the various jurisdictions to secure reciprocal privileges for Virginia citizens desiring to carry concealed in other states.Although the new law will require Virginia to grant recognition to all states that issue permits, those states may not authorize Virginia permit holders to possess a firearm in their state. You will need to contact each state to determine if they will recognize your Virginia permit. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
