I've moved 14 times in my working career spanning 40 years.

In the last half of this period it was always necessary to acquire a new state CCW for my current state of residency.

I also have a non-resident permit for a state to which I travel frequently (CT) but which does not have reciprocity with my current state of residence (OH).

This has become a real pain in the neck to jump through all of the necessary legal hoops not to mention the expense.

In the case of CT, they rejected my fingerprint cards, which were all taken at my local Sheriff's office, 4 times over the space of 3 months. Finally, I simply gave up, traveled to CT and waited in line to have my fingerprints taken there. CT sure didn't make things easy. Now with all this talk about upping renewal fees to $300, I may need to re-consider what to do once my current permit expires. I am hoping cooler heads will prevail in the ensuing months.
