Applying for a Utah CCW

[orangesolo 26]

Ok so before anyone asks, I travel a lot (around US) and Utah is the state w/ the most reciprocity between other states. Anyways my question is for PA. PA reciprocity for utah states that -

 

 

"Some permits may only be honored if held by a resident of the state they are issued in."

 

But they don't say Utah non-residency permits are disqualified.

 

NON-RESIDENT PERMIT RESTRICTIONS

 

- If you are a Pennsylvania resident with an Arizona permit only, it will not be honored in Pennsylvania after August 8th, 2013.

If you are a Pennsylvania resident with a Florida permit only, it will not be honored in Pennsylvania after June 7th, 2013.

If you are a Pennsylvania resident with a Virginia permit only, it will not be honored in Pennsylvania after August 8th, 2013.

 

 

 

So does that means that I can or cannot carry in PA... super confusing.

You cannot carry in PA with Utah Non res. Was stopped by Kane almost 2 years ago.  You can carry in PA with NH non res.

But for DE you use Utah.

There is A long running thread here on the NH permit.

You need the New Hampshire Non-Res for PA...... See the thread "Meanwhile in New Hampshire" on this site for all the details......

[orangesolo 26]

Well than I guess ill be applying for a NH ccw too!

[T Bill 649]

Currently, CANNOT.   Must be Utah resident with Utah CCW.  However as CCW goes Utah I believe is good in 31  states and after initial cost is only ten bucks for renewal.  Only Texas and New Hampshire work for NJ residents CCWing in PA at the current time.

[deerpark 83]

iirc, a Texas non-res may also work in PA.

Yes it will. With A trip to Texas, take the course and do required prints and your good to go. $?

NH, fill out the app send 100.00 wait 6-8 weeks

So I read the NH CCW App - It says that out of state residents must have a valid CCW license from their resident state in order to apply?

NH permit "may" soon not be valid in PA after the elections unless the Republican Sen. John C. Rafferty Jr running for Attorney General seat wins election. Because the other guy Josh Shapiro is a weasel endorsed by CeaseFire PA, Everytown, and Moms Demand Action. Bloomberg also just gave him huge $ to put him at a 4-to-1 funding lead over Rafferty. Shapiro wants to cut reciprocity agreements, implement “model gun show procedures”, expanded background checks to cover private sales of long guns and more.

Pennsylvania AG race one of sharp divide over gun policy

10/17/16| by Chris Eger

The two candidates vying to become the Keystone State’s top law enforcement officer have very different views on gun control.

Replacing outgoing Attorney General Kathleen Kane — the first Democrat ever elected to the position and now on her way to jail on felony perjury charges — will be either fellow Democrat Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro or Republican state Sen. John C. Rafferty Jr. Both men are from the Pittsburgh area but come with opposing viewpoints on gun politics.

Shapiro, in an editorial penned earlier this year for The York Daily Record, promised to implement “model gun show procedures” to crack down on sales in parking lots as well as prosecute prohibited firearms purchasers who fail background checks to buy guns while planning to step up straw purchasing awareness.

Moving past that, he wants to review Pennsylvania’s concealed carry reciprocity agreements and sever those he finds do not mirror the state’s own guidelines for issuance. A similar move by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring earlier this year sparked outrage among gun owners and conservative lawmakers there and was quickly rolled back.

Next on Shaprio’s list are expanded background checks to cover private sales of long guns. The state currently has a mandate that requires only checks on the private transfers of handguns.

Finally, he wants statewide lost or stolen gun requirements to give cover to municipalities who recently repealed local ordinances under now-stricken Act 192 and avoid having to reestablish them.

“I support the Second Amendment and law-abiding citizens’ rights to own firearms,” says Shapiro. “I also believe we can work together to strengthen our policies to reduce and prevent gun violence, prosecute criminals and make Pennsylvania safer for all our citizens.”

This has won him support from CeaseFire Pennsylvania who only spoke with Democratic candidates before making their endorsement. National gun control groups to include Everytown and Moms Demand Action also are throwing weight behind Shapiro. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has dropped at least $250,000 into the pot for the candidate, helping to push him to a 4-to-1 funding lead over his opponent.

As for Rafferty, the former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General points to his prosecutorial and legislative record to show he is tough on crime. He cites that he was instrumental in the passage of the Brad Fox Law that raises penalties for firearm straw purchasers. Fox was a police officer in Plymouth Township who was fatally shot by a man using a gun illegally purchased for him and to date several straw purchasing cases have been tried under the new mandate.

This is tempered with a “no-politics” pledge he has issued to enforce state law as written while working to combat Pennsylvania’s heroin problem, target child predators and increase school safety.

He is also a fan of strong state preemption laws, which would halt local gun control ordinances.

“Whatever the laws are throughout the Commonwealth, they should be consistent throughout all 67 counties,” said Rafferty on WITF’s Smart Talk.  “If that’s going to happen, then the legislature would have to take up that initiative and the legislature would have to pass it to get it to the governor for his signature.”

Rafferty is well-liked by gun rights groups including the National Rifle Association who have given Shapiro a “D” grade on Second Amendment issues while awarding the Republican an A-.

“John Rafferty, Jr. has a proven record of support for the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding citizens,” said Chris W. Cox, chair of the NRAs’ Political Victory Fund. “It is critical that Pennsylvania elects an attorney general who is willing to stand up to the extreme anti-gun agenda that’s being pushed by political elites like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg.”

It will be up to Pennsylvania’s voters to decide on Nov. 8.

[kirk2022 43]

You are correct, on the open carry in pa. As long as you have any Concealed Carry permit, which covers the travel exemptions when driving from point A to point B.

Apply anyway.... A new NH court ruling changed things..... If you skim the thread you will see what you need to do.......

Suck it.. the Flyers are going to slaughter the Rangers this year!

[concrete_boots 19]

Thought with a Utah/Fl you can carry in PA except in the city of Philly?

You usedacould, as Jeff Foxworthy would say. No more. Their former AG eliminated reciprocity with FLA and UT.

 

Did everyone see the photo of her leaving her sentencing hearing in handcuffs? It warmed my heart.

[T Bill 649]

Not since former AG Kane re-wrote the rulebook for non resident CCW in 2014

The key is resident vs. non-resident. Non-resident FL reciprocity was done away with in Feb. 2013, and non-resident Utah in Jun. 2014.

Good catch.  I meant to say UT and FL.   I'll correct my original post.

[Sam1 18]

I know there is no updates here since Nov. 2016, but I couldn't find more relevant discussion for my question.

 

For UT non-res how long does it take from the time you send your complete application till you get the permit?

Mine was 6-8 weeks after sending in, but that was 03/2014.   Could be different now.   If you ask nice when you call, they'll tell you what app date they're working on at the moment. Same for AZ.
