Default DE Drops NM - - New Format for WA --- Seeking Assistance

Delaware has dropped New Mexico from the list of states it honors. NM has not add/removed any states from the list of states it honors in over three weeks now.

Washington State Dept of Licensing Firearms Unit is going to a different format for their CPL. It will be more the size of a Drivers license to make it easier to carry. www.handgunlaw..us is very interested in obtaining an image of the new Washington CPL. Now if we can get Washington to honor more states!

Nevada has made it official. They will start honoring South Carolina July 1, 2012
http://nvrepository.state.nv.us/Docs...nition2012.pdf

Handgunlaw.us is adding “Must Inform Officer” Section to every state page. This section will give the law on must display on demand etc if a state has such a law. The states that have a law stating you must inform right away already have that information. Many people don’t realize that some states require that you must inform the officer right away that you have a permit/license and must inform them upon contact. Some are reading, “Must Inform Officer” NO and thinking you don’t have to ever tell them you have a firearm or present your Permit/License if ask. This is mainly new carries who have not been exposed to all the ins and outs of carrying in the different states. I am having difficulty finding anything for AL, CA, DE, GA, HI, ID, MA NH, NJ, RI and UT laws stating you must carry and display your permit/license. Any assistance would be appreciated with these states if you have any information.

Gary, thanks for all your hard work.

As to Washington honoring/reciprocating more states, don't hold your breath.

BaldEagle1313, We can always hope! Like I have told people before. If you would have told me 10 years ago I would be legal to carry in 40 states today I would have laughed at you!!!!

Gary, thanks for your work.
As far as I know NJ doesn't honor any other 'states' permits. I haven't seen any info about the permits for retired LEO's.

Washington State is coming out with a new format. I thought I put the link to the article explaining that and looked back and saw I didn't. Check it out Here: EXCLUSIVE: Change coming to Washington Concealed Pistol License - Seattle gun rights | Examiner.com

Can't be D.C.; they don't allow CCW. Any wonder why they have the high crime rate? Not counting congress robbing us, of course.

Gary,

While it may seem strange to many people with CWP's, I always inform the police officers in any state where I am licensed, during an official stop. I've never found any downside to doing this, and there is one big upside - anything that helps an officer determine that I am one of the "good guys" is a good thing. So my driver's license and CWP are out, every light in the vehicle is on (when it's dark), all of the windows are down (we have some heavy tinting around here), and my hands are TDC on the steering wheel. When he first gets to the truck, he immediately gets the DL and CWP.

Buck

Buck, I don't tell people what to do in situations like that. That is up to them. I am just reporting what the laws state. That is what Handgunlaw.us is all about. Reporting the laws as best we can so that people can know the law and stay within the law.

Edited: I meant to post this on another forum where a guy was talking about GA. Sorry for putting it in the wrong place. Gary Slider

Found Georgia. Just had to dig just a little deeper. Most states have specific sections for this.



§ 16-11-129.

(e) Revocation, loss, or damage to license. If, at any time during the period for which the weapons carry license was issued, the judge of the probate court of the county in which the license was issued shall learn or have brought to his or her attention in any manner any reasonable ground to believe the licensee is not eligible to retain the license, the judge may, after notice and hearing, revoke the license of the person upon a finding that such person is not eligible for a weapons carry license pursuant to subsection (b) of this Code section or an adjudication of falsification of application, mental incompetency, or chronic alcohol or narcotic usage. It shall be unlawful for any person to possess a license which has been revoked, and any person found in possession of any such revoked license, except in the performance of his or her official duties, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It shall be required that any license holder under this Code section have in his or her possession his or her valid license whenever he or she is carrying a weapon under the authority granted by this Code section, and his or her failure to do so shall be prima-facie evidence of a violation of Code Section 16-11-126.
