Post: Florida non-res CCW valid in Virginia???

Posted by Inquisitive on 4/29/05
As a resident of Virginia who holds a valid (non-resident)
Florida CCW license, does anyone know if it is accepted in
Virginia at face value?
I know Florida CCW license is valid in VA but the wording
seems to assume that would be by a visitor. What about a
resident of VA who happens to already have a Florida CCW
license???
Does that VA resident need to obtain a Virginia CCW
license also? If so, WHY?
The reicprocity agreement indicates that a vaid Florida
licence holder's CCW license is valid in Virginia, but
makes no clear point about it applying to residents of
Virginia using that CCW license!
Anyone have any experience of this?
Questions to VA State Police get a polite but
defensive "We THINK it's valied, but Why don't you just
get a VA CCW license"?
But that is not and should not be the question. They are
not able to directly and definitively answer the question!
I would hate to get arrested and then have to attempt to
prove that it is valid and should therefore be accepted.
HELP!
