All:

I live in Indiana and have a lifetime CC Permit/license. However there are 22 state in which I can not carry my weapon. My question is . . . Is there a combination of permits that one can have to lower the amount of states that you can not carry in?? I thought I could get a Non-Resident Florida permit, that would be a good one to have, I could also possibly get a Kentucky permit. The only problem I have with Kentucky is you have to be a resident to have a permit. I own property and a home there, but I don't physically live there all the time, just part of the time, my drivers license is in Indiana just 5 miles from the border. I don't know if I could get an exception to their rule or not (probably not).

This is Indiana's Coverage alone (Red states are the state where the CC permit is not accepted):



The image below show both Indiana and Florida combined. (The Red states are the state where the CC permit is not accepted.)



Any thoughts or suggestions. Why do I want to do this?? Because I believe in the second amendment and if feel somewhat naked and/or not properly dressed without a side arm! LOL My wife is really making find out too. She carries more than I do!!

All the best.

Curtis

EDIT: South Carolina would still be off limits as it requires the Florida license to be a resident of that state.

Well, scratch CA, IL, MA, and NY right off your list from the get go. You'll never get a permit in any of them.

Utah accepts any permit from anywhere, whether you are a resident or non-resident. We encourage people to carry here, which is why are in the top five for least crime-ridden states.

Yes I thought about that. Here is the map with Utah and Indiana combined permits:

EDIT: This is a map with IN + FL + Utah. Am I over thinking this?? LOL



EDIT #2: Here is a US map for open carry.

You might want to check with the Attorney Generals of the States that you might want to travel to/through. My state of Ks doesn't recognize permits from other states unless you are a resident of the state issuing the permit.

I would suggest you do your homework carefully. When it comes to reciprocity, there is a BIG difference between a resident FL CCW and a non-resident FL CCW.

But more specifically, I do not believe anyone but an Iowa resident can carry concealed in Iowa...and there is no open carry to my knowledge.

That would make sense. If they don't honor out of state licenses, and the state only has open carry for those holding a license, then No license other than an Iowa license holder (a resident) would be able to carry a weapon.

I am not debating the states that are in red. I also know that if I have a non resident Florida license I still would not be able to carry in South Carolina, Michigan, Colorado and possibly others. But having a Florida or possibly another state's license in addition to my license that I hold in that would broaden my scope of states that I could carry in. I am not looking for blanket coverage, there is no such thing. But I do travel and having possibly another license in another state would offer more protection for me or allow me to have my fire arm more often than not.

Thx.

Looks like IN+UT+FL is the way to go for you. Gives you some great coverage!


And that open carry map leads me to believe I can open carry in CT because I have my CCW?? Can anyone confirm or deny this for me? (Can't read through the laws right now, doing this via iPhone from a Pediatric Advanced Life Support class at work! )

Goto OpenCarry.org

There it says:

Connecticut

Summary
"Connecticut is not a traditional open carry state. Outside of your own residence or place of business, a permit is required to carry. The permit that Connecticut issues is a carry permit, not a concealed carry permit, so open carry IS legal with a permit."

You may want to check the validity though.

Thanks for the info! I'll call the State when I get out of class and ask.

You can add Hawaii to that list also

First, if you know the right Sheriff, it is possible to get a carry permit in California. Second, this website might be of help -

http://handgunlaw.us/

Myself? I carried a non-resident Florida, 'License To Carry Concealed Weapon' and a resident Pennsylvania, 'License To Carry Firearm' around with me for many years when, in fact, I actually needed only one or the other in either state. (It was the reciprocal states that I was really interested in.)

Other than my own home state, the other most common permits I run into are from Utah and Florida. Nobody, except law enforcement, carries in Illinois, Period.

I'm a little cornfused. Exactly what is your problem with Kentucky? They'll accept a non-resident Indiana license, won't they?

Get a job as a reserve officer with your local or a near LE Office. You are then exempt.

They don't use reserve officers anymore here.

Kentucky doesn't allow Non Resident Licenses. My Indiana is accepted there, but that's not the concern or the objective.

Thx.

Find someone to do a Utah non-resident class. I have several friends that did that one. It opened up several states for them.

I'm pretty sure you have to be a full time or retired LEO for H.R. 218 to have effect on you, if that is in fact what you are talking about.
