Default Pennsylvania No Longer Honors Utah!!!

The PA Attorney General has removed Utah as a state it honors. I do not know the reason why. Sometime earlier today 5/11/14 the PA AG site listing who PA honors was updated. Utah was removed from the list of state PA granted statutory reciprocity without a formal written agreement under 6106(b)(15) and placed it under the heading where PA residents could apply for a permit to carry in Utah. That means they no longer honor Utah. You can see it for yourself Here: Crime: Protecting Pennsylvania Against Crime - Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General
Posting this as PA has signed new agreements with Arizona, Virginia and Florida stating they will no longer honor those states Non-Resident permits. Many were getting a Utah permit to continue carrying in PA and now that permit is no longer valid in PA.

Handgunlaw.us has been updated to show this change in who honors who.

Definitely a step in the wrong direction. This was one reason I got an FL license.

I wonder, since Arizona doesn't require a license, why sign an agreement with Pennsylvania to not honor theirs?

If your state issues CCW permits & you have one, PA will issue you a non-resident permit. I believe if your state doesn't issue CCW permits, you can obtain a non-resident permit. The issue is you can't apply by mail anymore, you have to go in person.

Why? Because AG is "tough on crime" and we all know how much sense that makes

By all means, write the Chamber of Commerce and tourism agencies, with a copy to the AG. Tell them that Pennsylvania not on your travel agenda until they reverse this arbitrary action. Philly and Pittsburgh are too dangerous to travel "alone." Moreover, they are signalling mistrust in the most vetted portion of the population to do the right thing.

New Mexico revoked reciprocity with most other states a couple of years ago. This action was met by negative letters to these agencies, which may have helped reversing the state's position.
