Reciprocity Question
Wilson:
I emailed Handgun Law at admins@handgunlaw.us and received the response below. They wait for accurate information which is a good thing. It also tells me to go to the source ie the state of Wyoming, for the quickest information since it may take awhile to show up on Handgun Law website. They do appreciate our input though :)
The response:
Wilson, Yes WY just changed their law. They will honor any state that honors theirs. There are 4 states they will add. I was waiting for them to make it official on their website as this is what many LEO's would go by if they stopped someone with an out of state permit.
But thanks for the heads up. Do send along anything you think would be of interest to handgunlaw.us. I can't see everything. Stay safe, Gary Slider

Thanks for doing that Wilson. It's good to keep communicating with websites that update state laws.

Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation Concealed Firearm Permits
The Wyoming concealed firearm permit statute (revised effective March 2010) provides that Wyoming will honor permits from other states, and issue Wyoming permits to holders of permits from other states, if:
1. the other state recognizes Wyoming permits; and
2. the permit from the other state is valid statewide.
Under our current law, if you a permit holder from another state, if your permit is valid statewide and your State recognizes (or honors) Wyoming permits, you can carry a concealed firearm in Wyoming.
The current statute has resulted in a formal confirmation process with other states. Once the Division confirms which other States? permit Wyoming honors or has reciprocity, those states are listed below for convenience only. However, this listing has no legal effect. If your State is not presently listed, you may also check with your own State?s regulatory agency.
Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Colorado Florida
Idaho Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine
Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska
New Mexico North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania
South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia
It is the sole responsibility for all concealed firearm permit holders to be aware of the requirements and laws of all states*. The permit issued by your state does not supersede any other state?s laws or regulations. Legal conduct in your state may not be legal in the state you are visiting.

? Wyoming Concealed Firearms Permit Statute Revised 3/5/10
Wyoming permit holders who plan to visit another state and who also plan to carry a concealed firearm while visiting that state, are urged to contact that state before traveling. This will allow Wyoming permit holders to determine all restrictions or prohibitions regarding the carrying of concealed firearms in those states, as well as their laws regarding firearms and weapons in general. Most states have web pages with necessary information.

Ohio now recognizes the Nebraska permit.
http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Enforcement/Concealed-Carry/Reciprocity-Agreements
Ohio law gives the Attorney General the right to negotiate concealed carry handgun reciprocity agreements with other states.
Under such agreements, Ohio and other states agree to respect each other's concealed carry laws and recognize each other's permit holders.
In assessing whether to enter a reciprocity agreement, the Attorney General must determine if another state's concealed carry law and requirements are "substantially comparable" to Ohio's.
Ohio has reciprocity agreements with the following states. Click on the state name for more details about the agreement.
Alaska Arizona Arkansas Delaware
Florida Idaho Kentucky Michigan
Missouri Nebraska North Carolina Oklahoma
South Carolina Tennessee Utah Virginia
Washington West Virginia Wyoming
