Hi all. Newly registered to the forums although i've followed them for quite a while. I've had my CCW permit since 2007.
Question that is probably answered on the boards somewhere. My wife and I travel to and from Ohio to South Carolina twice a year but to avoid a mistake in other states I always, at the last rest area in Ohio going down, unload my magazine and store the weapon and mags seperate from the ammunition. Coming back I always rewind and load and CC at the 1st rest area in Ohio .
I know that we have reciprocity with the states we travel thru but just wanna know, in the most simplest terms, how to travel/carry thru, notify, etc thru the following states.
West Virginia
Virginia
North Caro
South Caro
Your more than welcome to start off with: "just do this, bonehead".

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
Welcome to the OFCC forums!
Being aware of, and complying with, state laws for states that you visit is a very good idea. Being of the "teach a man to fish" mindset, I'll offer the following:
Probably the best resource for finding out such things is http://www.handgunlaw.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - just click on the state you are interested in and you will be presented with a PDF summarizing their firearms laws. You'll have to scroll past a bunch of information about applying for a license, etc., but you'll eventually see things like "Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law?" “NO” and "Must Inform Officer Immediately on Contact By Law?" “NO", etc.

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
I use a an app on my phone called CCW. It updates rapidly and stays on top of law changes for all 50 states. Easy to pull up, tap a state and see what's what. Also, you can put in all of your state permits (if you have multiple) and you will get a map of the U.S. showing every state you are legal to carry in. I use android but I'm assuming there is a version for iOS as well.

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
I check Handgunlaw.us before going into unfamiliar states just to see if there is anything weird or unusual I need to know about. Other than that I don't worry too much about it. Concealed means concealed. especially in unfamiliar territory. Of course I try to avoid the anti states. Those are mostly the states we don't have reciprocity with anyway.

Not any longer, it was corrected within a month of them dropping reciprocity with OH.Notasmiff wrote:I believe Va is a problem, since last year.

Tks. Nice app. Android here as well.Cloudwraith wrote:I use a an app on my phone called CCW. It updates rapidly and stays on top of law changes for all 50 states.

Paid the $1.99 and voila!
Still playing around with it. Lotta good stuff but fairly easy to use.

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
Nice, glad I could help. I like the fact that each state has links to their specific legislation so you can read them for yourself without having to spend a ton of time with Google.TTTDawg wrote:Tks.

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
The CCW app is great. I have it on my Android. I had to use it last week when I got pulled over in North Carolina for speeding. I had to check for Duty to Inform while pulling over. LOL North Carolina is a Inform state. State Trooper was very cool. I told him I have an Ohio Permit and was armed and he made nothing of it. Said "yeah, ok." Was honest with him that I was speeding and he came back with a written warning said thanks for being honest and let me go.

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
I frequently travel to SC and can assure you that Ohio currently has reciprocity with all of the states you mentioned.

Re: Conceal Carry Reciprocity
You are good to go here in WV. No need to unload, no duty to inform, though I would as a courtesy.

According to the description; it was last updated on 1/3/17, so the at least the Ohio nPart is out of date..Cloudwraith wrote:I use a an app on my phone called CCW.
