folush 4 Posted June 19, 2020 Hi Guys, Front Sight has provided free course online for Virginia CC, which can be obtained by non-residents of Virginia. It is good for 29 States and takes only an hour to complete. I went to their trainig site in Nevada 2 times and can tell that these guys are real pros. If the link does not work send me the PM with your email and I forward it to you. https://www.frontsight.com/onlineccw/ Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryu 21 Posted June 19, 2020 Does this mean after taking this course, I can carry in the other 29 states with a NJ FID? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, you can then get a non-resident VA CHP through the mail. After getting the VA permit you can carry in those 29 sates. VA is a "Shall Issue state".

YankeeSC 1,204 Posted June 19, 2020 https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/va-gun-laws/#recRestricted You basically have to travel south/west past PA and MD to get to a state where it's accepted (or VT, NH, ME), and a few will only accept the resident permit (SC, FL, MI, WI, CO).

father-of-three 235 Posted June 19, 2020 A hunter safety course will also qualify for an Arizona amd Virginia permit. I do not recall if the same can be done for Florida(I think so). Only one initial set of fingerprints is needed for an Arizona permit, whereas Virginia requires a new set with every renewal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is not true. The OP was correct that 29 states honor the VA non-resident permit and 35 states honor the resident permit. The link you posted shows this. I am not sure about the fingerprint requirement for non-residents but as a resident I was not required to provide fingerprints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeSC 1,204 Posted June 19, 2020 Hi @JC_68Westy - I don't like to post bad info, specifically what is not true? I took the info from the uscca link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted June 19, 2020 I misread your post to state that only 5 states accepted the non-resident permit. My bad, you clearly stated 5 states only accept the resident permit. I should have read more closely. I just increased the font size so that I can actually see all of the letters in a post. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No permits needed in VT, NH, and ME all are constitutional carry states. However one needs a permit to carry in certain parkes in Maine such as Arcadia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
