Question about CCW non-PA resident permits
I'm a resident of Arizona, but I'm a current Law Student here in PA. So I'm in PA for just over 7 months of the year - but I do have a PA non-resident permit.
So when I'm looking at state's reciprocity laws would I be able to carry concealed in any state that has reciprocity with both AZ, and PA, or Either of the two. OR am I only entitled to carry in the different state if they have reciprocity with the state that I declare residency in (which is Arizona).
Thanks any help would be wonderful,

Re: Question about CCW non-PA resident permits
You PA license only affords you privileges in the states that PA has agreements with or if the other state honors all blanketly. Except, there are a few states that require the license bearer to be a resident of the issuing state. NH, FL, CO, MI, and WV require you to be a resident of PA to honor the PA license. Your home state of AZ requires you to have a AZ license because you are a AZ resident legally and will not honor your PA non-resident LTCF.

Re: Question about CCW non-PA resident permits
Yes I know about Arizona, that's why I took the Course there and then the Range exam and the written exam, and submitted fingerprints and an Okay for the FBI background check to the AZ DPS. Then when I came back to PA for post graduate work and school I received the non-res permit.
Thank you for the other information and the links!
I never understood why AZ gives reciprocity to PA but PA won't in return.... It is much more difficult to obtain an AZ permit, with the written exams, and the actual hands on exam at targets on the range that require you to be a certain caliber of a marksmen - if you miss or get to many on the white of the target paper you fail and have to wait a bit to take the course again.
BUT anyone over 21 who isn't a convict can open carry anything from a .22 pistol to a belt-fed weapon over their shoulder in the open and ANYWHERE except where they serve alcohol by the drink.
Actually that brings me to another question, here in PA you're allowed to carry concealed into a restaurant and bar correct?

Re: Question about CCW non-PA resident permits
Oh really?
Wow great, now I don't need to apply for a new CCW for PA when mine expires.
I just hope any police officers are aware of the reciprocity change if I'm ever stopped and asked if I'm carrying.
No need to go to nail over a misunderstanding.
Thank you for that new Information.
