Oklahoma going permit less

I thought NJ DID issue concealed carry permits, but made it impossible to get one...

Probably because of this line in the application:

Each person applying for a Permit to Carry a Handgun must supply a letter of need, specific in content, as to why they have a
need to carry a firearm in the State of New Jersey. If this application is employment-related, then your employer must supply this letter.
List the reason for this application:
 
That is the deciding factor. Who gets to decide if it's an appropriate reason or need?

Could I just include a copy of the constitution now with the 2nd amendment highlighted. I would like to see how that goes over. I would probably be put on a watch list.

I can't argue with that, sounds reasonable to me.

But this is the Communist state of NJ, so I don't think THEY remember what the constitution actually is.

At first, I thought the Dems didn't want law abiding citizens CCWing because too many of their constituents would end up pushing daises as a result of good people defending themselves.  But really, what does it matter to the dem party. their constituents will still vote whether they are dead or alive.

Question: does this mean that in these 15 states doing this that an American Citizen can carry there permitless as a right without being a resident of the state?  Are the rights respected by these states only recognized to their residents on not visitors to their state?

Good question, especially in regards to FOPA.

159:6 License to Carry.  III. The availability of a license to carry a loaded pistol or revolver under this section or under any other provision of law shall not be construed to impose a prohibition on the unlicensed transport or carry of a firearm in a vehicle, or on or about one’s person, whether openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded, by a resident, nonresident, or alien if that individual is not otherwise prohibited by statute from possessing a firearm in the state of New Hampshire. 

In NH anyone can carry resident or not without a permit.

Ok, I see that.  Then why does NH require a non-resident carry permit?

They dont require it.  But its offered for both residents and non residents.  And with it, you can enjoy whatever reciprocity they have with other states.  it's the only reason you would need or want a permit in NH

simplest answer: money

think about it... their NR permit is $100 and honors in lots of states, and they issue it to anyone.

Do they benefit from citizens of states like NJ etc because they offer their permit to non-residents .. of course they do.  Thats just smart financial sense. But if they didnt offer one to their own residents they would be hurting their own residents, as they would in most cases be locked into their home state.  It just makes sense to have a resident permit that would then be honored by reciprocity agreements outside the state.  if someone has no intention of traveling outside the state and or doesn't want to carry their gun outside the state then they have no reason to get one.

Reciprocity with other states. Residents also have to get a permit to legally carry in other non constitutional carry states.

So, if I understand what you're saying correctly, if I visit Oklahoma, New Hampshire or another constitutional carry state I still need a non-resident permit?

Arizona has Constitutional Carry. Any non-prohibited resident or nonresident can open or conceal carry without a permit, except in certain locations. The state offers CWPs for anyone, which is good in a number of states, and exempts one from a BGC when buying a firearm from an AZ Dealer.

This also answers your last post, but the mobile site it too finicky for me to try and fit it in.

I really never looked into the restrictions on NH carry laws within NH (might have been in the state for about an hour, driving to/from ME), but with ME, since I looked it up for off duty carry... constitutional carry has restrictions that are not in place with permit carry. One off the top of my head are State and National Parks. There was also one that had to do with bow hunting... where if you want a handgun, you have to have a valid permit.

I’d say to also look over any restrictions with constitutional carry, and see if they apply to you. If they do, might want to get the permit... or just follow the law and not carry in those instances. Having a permit will never hurt you.

Ok, then 1st: New Hampshire owes my $100.00 because they just cashed my check 3 days ago. But 2nd: Does anyone know how the reciprocity thing between states work in that case?  If the free state resident visits another requiring ID to respect the reciprocity will merely their driver's license be enough?

If your a Federal LEO and carrying off duty within the guidelines of your agency what the state says really doesn't matter.

You are carrying under Federal authority.  The Federal Government is not subject to state or local jurisdiction.

Oh I do.  I have found that the best way is to email the AG directly.  I did this for travel rules and got very polite and professional responses.  I travel with the printed emails in the glove box for use in case I get stopped or accused of an illegal deviation. Fortunately this hasn't happened yet.

What they require depends on the state.

But don't they still hold true to restrictions to certain areas? Schools, and other non-carry areas?

Ok (and none of this is sarcasm, it's truly based on ignorance and confusion) that could mean that since a free state doesn't issue permits then in those state requiring such from your state of residence in order to apply reciprocity wouldn't get one because you would not have one.  Kind of a catch 22?

A helpful resource in case anyone is not aware is a site called https://www.usacarry.com  You can plug in any permits, resident or non resident that you may have and see where you are good to carry. Can also dig into individual states and see where carry rules apply per state, like courthouses , bars etc.  very useful site.

Always a little bit behind on changes so dont expect them to be up to the day accurate if something changes.

Already did check... good with issued weapon. If carrying a personally owned firearm, reverts to jurisdiction’s laws. When I mentioned getting my permit in a constitutional carry state, was told I’d be good... but as mentioned, there are specific instances where the permit would be beneficial.

And that is where it sits at the moment. The next issued weapon is supposed to have at least one, possibly two, alternatives... which would be allowed for duty use, but personally purchased. From what I was told, there is hope that may somehow be extended to backup weapons... but the person who was explaining it said that he isn’t holding his breathe on that.

Generally no when it comes to state laws.  If you're a Federal LEO carrying off duty under the guidelines of your agency your restrictions are  are governed by your agency policy is.

Federal agencies don't acquiesce to state laws.   That's maintaining sovereignty of the Federal Government.

A Federal LEO is better off carrying off duty under their agency's guidelines rather than any state law for reasons I'll discuss in my next post in this thread.

Yes, CBP is limited to issued weapon. I believe that was still true for the inspectors before DHS was created.  Except for a short period special agents could always carry personally owned firearms as long as it was approved and they qualified with it.

Firearms policies have always stated something to the effect it doesn't preclude off duty carry in accordance with state or local laws.

The only benefit I can see for getting a state carry permit is if your agency says you must carry ABC and you want to carry XYZ.  If you're a Federal LEO ( or any LEO for that matter)  you're much better off carrying off duty under your LE authority than any state permit.  If you get into a legitimate shooting situation off duty or gun situation you'll find yourself on your own if you're carrying on the authority of a state permit.  If you're carrying under your Federal LEO authority (which as a CBP Officer comes from 19 USC 1589) and in compliance with their firearms policy and use of force policy you'll get backing from the agency and most likely whatever union you wind up joining.

I've seen this backing extend to the US Attorney pulling the case out of a state court and having charges dismissed.  I've also seen someone have to stand trial for manslaughter in a state court for killing someone with an unauthorized weapon.

I mentioned unions and they are part of the problem with CBP when it comes to firearms issues.  You've got 3 unions representing CBP Officers.   Any change in policy has to be run by them.  When they permitted inspectors off duty carry it was negotiated to issue firearms only and no carry anywhere alcohol was served.  Special Agents, not having a union to deal with, could carry specific personally owned firearms and carry anywhere as long as they weren't drinking alcohol.

I'd rethink those "benefits" of carrying off duty on a state permit.

I appreciate the heads up. I had the opportunity to pick the brains of a few BPAs and CBPOs, and even one who had a great deal of knowledge on both firearm training as well as what was going on with the solicitation for the new sidearm(s) (couldn’t say what was submitted, for obvious reasons; still surprised no company had released anything saying they submitted X to them). Did ask specifics regarding the subject, and browsed the Use of Force Policy. Based majority of my post off his explanation.

Whatever the outcome, it will be a question I’ll likely ask in the upcoming months and go from there. When I head up to ME in April, will have a firearm... which will be locked in the trunk during work. Will carry it as legally allowed per constitutional carry (I am trying to fit finding a house in these two weeks, hopefully to get it setup to close somewhere in August... God willing). Doubt I’ll be hunting or going on a hike in a park during that time, so should be ok.

Once I find a house, finish training, and get everything else changed over (driver’s license and FFL-03... might get the ball rolling on suppressors, but likely will wait for the following year so I can un-NJ most of my guns)... I’m still going for the permit. Like I said, it never will hurt you to have it. I’m up there at least to April 2022 (incentive requires that, or have to pay back the money paid out), so I’m sure I will utilize the permit abilities over constitutional carry at least once in that time period.

In regards to their issue sidearm, I really want to see what they are going to decide on. Hopefully testing gets done, which be done quicker if the government doesn’t shut down again (not to mention the BS those guys/girls are facing; per CBP’s Hiring Center, shutdown should effect my start date... unless it goes on through mid-March). It sounds from the Request that they had the P320 and Glock in their sights... I’d love to see Beretta win a large contract like that. All depends on what the options are, but if I’m carrying a full-size P320 with RMR, I think it would be better to carry something smaller than not carry it at all times (off-duty... must be concealed).
