I see you are just looking for an address. We were considering Arizona, but there are a lot of things to weigh. Good luck with your new adventure.

Many of you are assuming that if you have a permit from a state like Utah for example which is recognized by a bunch of other states (reciprocity) that you can carry in all those states. That's true, only if you are actually an official resident of Utah!! If you're a resident of SD for example, your Utah permit is NOT recognized by all the other states. Same thing for me currently. My AZ permit is recognized by SD as long as I'm an AZ resident. Should I become a resident of another state, my AZ permit would no longer be recognized.
I sincerely hope I'm somehow wrong about this but I've heard the same interpretation from everyone I spoke with today.
Thanks for any additional information/interpretation anyone may have.
This is only partly true. If you have a non-resident permit in Utah and Florida, you may carry in almost every state in the union that allows concealled carry. I have an Arkansas ( my home state ) Utah and Florida license. Kansas ( I think without looking it up ) will not recognize my Utah license because I am not a resident of Utah but will recognize my Florida, which I am not a resident either. Best of my memory there is only two or three states that don't recognize non-resident permits. Before you carry in any state you really need to do some research, every state has a pretty thorough web site on CCW. Don't mean to slander anyone but most LEO's don't know to much about laws in states other than their own.

Full Auto, thanks for your reply and that of many others, however I fear that you are missing the salient point. Here it is: YES, MANY STATES WILL HONOR OTHER STATES CCW PERMITS....HOWEVER, THEY WILL ONLY HONOR THEM IF YOU ARE A BONAFIDE RESIDENT OF THE STATE IN WHICH YOUR PERMIT WAS ISSUED! Sincere apology, I did not mean to yell. Just for emphasis. Please give this issue some thought.

I got your point, you didn't get mine. MOST STATES DO HONOR NON-RESIDENT CARRY PERMITS. Florida issues tens of thousands of non resident carry permits every year, and they do it by mail, very easy to get. If no one honored them I can't imagine they would issue many. If a Utah CCW has 29 states it is reciprical with probably only two or three make the exception you quote. LIKE I SAID CHECK WITH EACH STATES WEBSITE TO SEE IF YOU ARE LEGAL, THAT IS YOUR DUTY. Sincere apology also, I only yelled for emphasis. Please give the issue some research, don't ask an Arizona cop about Nebraska laws.
Check the link Gemstone provided above, according to it there are only seven states in the union that don't honor non-resident permits.

not what I was told today, if you are non resident with a Utah permit, you will be recognized in 29 states, if a resident from Utah with permit 34 states. That is the reason I took the Utah nonresident gun course today so I could get the non resident permit and be legal in 29 states. Looks like we have a stand off here. Another thing I learned to day, never trust what an officer tells you about laws of his town or state, no way can he be right on so many different laws. Look it up and get the real rulings on the laws. Instructor was a city chief of police and he was in Washington and asked three different cops the same question, got three different answers.

Riever,
fullautodave is exactly correct. Your AZ permit will not be legal in SD but a UT or FL permit is accepted. A UT permit is also legal in AZ.
The only difference between "resident" permits and "non-resident" permits from Utah are a few states that require you to be a Utah resident to get full reciprocity. You may feel more comfortable if you would write the Attorney General's office of each state you wish to travel to. No offense, but most Law Enforcement officers and agencies do not know about reciprocity agreements between states. The Utah permit has a phone number on the back for LEO's to use to check validity of the permits for exactly this reason.
I have seen your posts on Defensive Carry as well and I think your writing more into it than need be. If you wish to travel and carry a gun, you need to determine which states you will be visiting and which permits you will need to have. Make sure that the permit is valid for the state you wish to have residency and the state(s) you wish to snowbird in. It will take some research but all that information is available on the web. Dont trust private websites like Handgunlaw.us as information changes very fast. Check each states "official" websites for current available information.

Thanks all for your feedback. I hope you're right about the non-resident permits. I've been wrong before and hope I am now. I didn't know one could get a non-resident permit from Florida for example, without being there in person. I'll look into it. Thanks again.

Not true, at least in my case. I went before judge an proved that I was a FT R'ver. License and reg in SD, on voter list and DO NOT own any porperty in ANY state. The fact that I don't own any property is what convinced him.
