Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. (New

If you visit the "LAW" tab of the forum you can see the reciprocity map, which has reflected those states for a little while now.

17 formal agreements and 7 statutory agreements making a total of 24 for our license plus Vermont where you don't need a license at all. Also Mississippi recognizes our license but it's unclear if we recognize theirs.

Just wondering where you got the info about Miss? According to the PA AG site, Miss. is in Category 5:

State does not recognize or grant licenses/permits to individuals from another state, currently does not extend reciprocal privileges to Pennsylvania license holders, or has not indicated current status.

Hmmmm, yeah, I see what you mean...seems to be some conflict there between the two official sites. Oh well, I don't ever intend on going to Miss. anyway
But, OHIO would be nice to have on our PA LTCF, rather than getting a UT or FL permit to cover Ohio.

[Dredly]

Damn! I got all excited when I saw this thinking Maine may have finally pushed theirs through but no such luck

Ohio would be real nice to have, so would NY but that'll never happen.

Yes, I'd bet the next step for New York would be to abolish non-LEO carry altogether, like IL.

Ohio would be really nice, but NY? Now that made be laugh

Ohio will never reciprocate as PA has no training requirement and OH law only allows reciprocity if the license requirements are essentially the same. You can get Ohio with FL and UT for example.
