is the CCW permit or plumbing, electric, or teaching...it is the we hold you to a higher standard which is causing the problem, ensure that it is at that standard for all states..... and i think everyone should show that they can shoot a gun before they can receive a permit...... Traveling Armed Wondering....  I have business that takes me from the east coast, through Illinois, to mid-west points beyond and back again.  Just exactly what am I supposed to do with my firearm while in Illinois?? Bob b Hide it well StoutCortez Keep it unloaded and locked in a case in the trunk, and don't spend the night in Illinois. Jbell I have a Utah non resident CCFP. I recently was relocated to the state of TX for work. Can I purchase a handgun in the state of TX without being a resident? Utah and TX is reciprocal. Rob This map does not give reciprocity if that's what it's supposed to do.  For ND it shows nearly 40 states that accept a ND CWL.  That is not even close to correct and ND has 2 different classes of licenses and it doesn't even allow for that. Don't take chances, find out from the states you visit and make sure you permit is good there. Brentj7010 All states should honor only if you can show the ability to handle, fire safely  and correctly use your weapon. If you cant then you dont need one because you are just as much
