What's the best non-resident CCW permits to get?
It's been a while since I've looked at the non-resident permits for Utah & Florida. Are those still the best to get? I've got my CA CCW, but I've been looking at getting a non-resident permit so I can carry outside of CA.
Also, anyone have any suggestions on places to take the classes in in the Tracy/Livermore area would be appreciated. Thanks.

AZ... super easy to obtain. If you've already got your CA CCW, no class needed (correct me if I'm wrong), you'll just need to fill out their app, do a livescan and send a copy of your current CCW permit along with the paperwork and certain amount of $$$ (forgot how much). within 2-3 weeks you should receive your permit in the mail. Somewhere along those lines....

VA is easier but equivalent to AZ, so easier to get AZ as the turnaround is faster. |

Went to AZ DPS CCW website and requested an AZ CCW application packet. AZ DPS mailed me their CCW application and fingerprint cards, for free. Getting fingerprint cards done cost me $20, AZ application fee is $60.00, and mailed my application packet for around $1.50. Mailed my AZ CCW application on 12-31-2018. Recieved my AZ CCW permit on 01-09-2019. AZ approval letter indicates it was approved on 01-05-2019 and mailed on 01-07-2019.

AZ gets you a lot, but not all, of the country. Check the reciprocity maps to get an idea of which states are covered by a particular permit, but of course, check the specific state requriements before you carry where you may be unfamiliar with state and local laws and customs. https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/res...ciprocity_map/

Thanks guys. From the reciprocity map, it looks like AZ will get me the bulk of the states I plan to travel to/through. I emailed the AZ DPS and they responded pretty quick. My packet is on its way and they did say if I have a permit, just scan it and send it in in lieu of having to take another training class.

There is no "best" permit. The non-resident permits that will give you the widest national coverage are Utah, Arizona, and Florida. All three can be obtained by mail. There is some overlap in coverage, however, reciprocity and recognition laws change often. I have eight permits in total and I can carry in thirty-nine states. Well worth it IMO!

CA doesn’t recognize any other state permits. UT has this condition for states that do recognize UT so it prevents non-residents from using UT instead of their home state’s permit.
For CA resident, you can apply without needing a CA CCW. I have UT permit. Takes about 60 days. |

Note that Florida accepts CCW permits from something like 33 other states, but only if they are resident permits. If you want to CC in Florida, get a Florida permit (and yes, Florida issues non-residential permits).

Traveling cross-country from Maryland to California. I am a California resident, and a permit holder. This is great information - thanks to all!
Looks like I need to get permitted in Arizona if I want to carry on my trip. |

Check the reciprocity map. California CCW is recognized by many states. Depending on the route you drive on your trip you may be covered in some of the states.

Thanks - I did - and I needed the ability to carry in some states I was passing through that did not recognize CA CCW. AZ fills the gaps very well. But it looks like Illinois and Minnesota are in worlds of their own. Go figure!

Google CCW reciprocation maps. There are a few and compare them as laws can change. Take care to note if possible if resident or non-resident permit matters.

Florida has reciprocity with many other states, but I think it won’t accept a non-resident permit from another state. |
