It basically means that another state will observe your CCW permit as a right to lawfully carry within their state borders. Check out that link I posted above. You can click on your state and see where your CCW permit will be honored.John, when you speak of reciprocity, what exactly do you mean? Reason I ask is that sometimes on a ride, I pack a pistol in my bike bag. We don't go out of state much, but if I wanted to travel out with the gun, would I legally be allowed to cross the border with it?
It's a bit different if you're carrying on your person vs. in your car, so I would check out the state laws before venturing there to be 100% sure. I would absolutely invest in your CCW permit if you don't currently have one, Tim. It will save a lot of potential heartache in the end.
