The following is a list of states that have indicated that they will recognize Virginia permits effective July 1, 2016. Prior to traveling citizens should contact each state they intend to travel through to determine if that state will recognize their Virginia resident or non-resident concealed carry permit and to ensure the laws have not changed since this list was compiled.
Persons should contact the United States Virgin Islands Police prior to bringing a firearm into the islands.
