Frequently Asked Questions
What is concealed carry reciprocity?+
Concealed carry reciprocity is a legal agreement in which one U.S. state recognizes a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit issued by another state. If your home state's permit is honored, you may lawfully carry a concealed handgun in that state while following its local laws.
