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

More | Report Post

This was copied and pasted directly from the Virginia State
Police official website. It would seem to me (though I am
not a lawyer) that Virginia honors ALL valid Florida CCW
licenses. Therefore, I would personally conclude that in
your situation, even as a resident of Virginia, that your
state should honor your Florida non-resident CCW permit and
allow you to carry concealed in Virginia.

This begins the info copied from the VSP website:

Concealed Handgun Permits

Reciprocity and Recognition
Back to Criminal Justice Information Services main page
Back to Firearms Transaction Center

Virginia extends reciprocity or recognition to citizens
holding both resident and non-resident permits/licenses from
the following jurisdictions as set forth below:

Listing of states with which Virginia has Reciprocity
Agreements*:

Alaska

Florida

Kentucky

North Carolina
Ohio

Tennessee

West Virginia

* Virginia non-resident permit holders – Florida has
indicated that it does not grant reciprocity to holders of
non-resident permits. Virginia non-resident permit holders
should contact each reciprocal state to determine if their
permit will be recognized prior to carrying in that
jurisdiction.

Listing of states with which Virginia has mutual recognition
(Jurisdictions honor permits issued by the other):

Louisiana
Michigan

Montana

Oklahoma

Utah

Listing of states of which Virginia will grant recognition
to valid permit holders:

Arkansas

Arizona

Minnesota

New Mexico
South Carolina

Texas

Washington

Wyoming

Although Virginia will grant recognition, these states may
not authorize Virginia permit holders to possess a firearm
in their state. You will need to contact each state to
determine if they will recognize your Virginia permit.

Virgin Islands Temporary Permit

Persons with a valid Virginia concealed carry permit may
apply individually to the United States Virgin Islands
Police Department for temporary reciprocal recognition of a
CCDW license while in the Virgin Islands. This temporary
recognition is normally for ninety (90) days from the date
of issue.

An application for temporary privileges may be requested
from:
