Non-resident license to carry for my wife: which state?
So my wife has her PA LTCF, and carries a firearm everywhere. I recently got USMC reserve orders to VA, so we will be traveling there a few times per year. We also like to travel to the Carolinas and someday hope to go to Nevada together. Since a PA LTCF isn't good in VA (because of the new reciprocity debacle), NV, or SC, we are thinking that it would be good for her to have a license from another state to help.
Looking at VA, only 5 are accepted. I see that one of those is TX, which offers a non-resident license. It would be good in those states.
What class is required for TX? Sources online seem to point to a TX specific class, but the TX DPS site doesn't state that explicitly. She has taken NRA Personal Protection Outside The Home (PPOTH) for a previous license (Michigan, but they don't issue to non-residents), so would that be adequate?
Otherwise, what states can be had through the mail and wouldn't require another class? We don't want to spend too much money on a license if we can avoid it.
Thanks guys.Last edited by masakarijoe; January 16th, 2016 at 08:03 PM.

Re: Non-resident license to carry for my wife: which state?
Since VA is a main destination, why not get a VA non-resident permit?
FWIW, I have one. Very easy to get.

FYI: South Carolina Does Not Honor Non-Resident Permits/Licenses. You must be a resident of the state they honor for your permit to be valid in South Carolina. So no non-resident license will work in SC.
Nevada does not honor Texas as can be seen here: http://gsd.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/gsd....2011-12-15.pdf
Texas requires first time applicants to take a specific course, a list of DPS certifies instructors can be found here: https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/RSD/CH...tOptInList.pdf but it doesn't look like they have out of state instructors.
Utah would cover you in VA and in the long run be a lot cheaper, but not cover you in NV or SC. Utah does have out of state instructors for their CFP that list can be found here: http://bci.utah.gov/wp-content/uploa...te01142016.pdf

Re: Non-resident license to carry for my wife: which state?
Why give money to a state that is clearly anti 2A politician wise, when you drop from 29 to 5 states with reciprocity its nothing more then a political statement. When they see that revenue stream disappear its one way for your voice to be heard. Its now a better decision for VA residents to get Utah or FL Lic then a VA resident Lic as they will need another Lic now if they plan on traveling. I personably think if a state makes a change in reciprocity agreements they should mail every single permit holder to notify them. I wonder how many PA residents think they can still carry in DE legally.

Re: Non-resident license to carry for my wife: which state?
I have only one non-resident license (mostly for Delaware and, at the time, Ohio), and my Florida license expires shortly. I've been debating what to replace it with -- a Florida renewal is just like a new application for non-residents, including fingerprints. I was considering Virginia since I have family there, but since it's no longer recognized in Delaware I decided that Utah or Arizona would be the way to go. Now with Virginia dropping Arizona, Utah seems like the obvious choice. In the reciprocity shenanigans in recent years, Utah has been the least likely license to be dropped.
