If they cooperate, the citizens of both states benefit from the reciprocal agreement. However, if they don't cooperate, we should drop the unilateral recognition after the year is over. Quid pro quo.

I don't agree. Keep in mind that as Texas CHLers, we enjoy and appreciate our ability to legally defend ourselves. I believe the state of Texas is doing a good thing for 2A with the unilateral recognition. The more legally armed people in Texas, the safer Texas will be. Texas cannot control the other states mindset. But will stand up for visitors from those states to Texas. Plus. I think there is a little thumbing of the nose involved. Right on, then!!! Kinda like "who's the bigger man"??

and I wish Texas would go to a strict reciprocity system like Flori-duh to encourage those states to cooperate.

Not sure who to tell about this, but Arizona also requires that anybody carrying there be 21 unless they open carry. They'll take a TX permit, but not for people under 21. The map does not reflect that.

Also, Arizona is a really good non-res permit to get (all you have to do is send a copy of your TX CHL and $60. It's as widely recognized as Florida, but you don't get Washington state with it. But you do get Nevada with an AZ permit now.

The map I see you quoted does show that there is a 21 yr old requirement for AZ. That's what the little black oval with a 21 in it represents. Not sure if the original source might have been updated since your post or not.

I updated the map after practicaltactical posted the 21+ information, the link automatically updates. :)

Great map!!

I really wish California would get their act together with their CHL program. Its totally arbitrary and up to the local agencies (as long as you meet the criteria). Where I lived in Southern California it was nearly impossible, where my parents live in a rural county its pretty easy if you can show ANY kind of cause, like my dad who owns a business and makes trips to the bank with cash deposits regularly. I guess thats the difference between "Shall Issue" and whatever it is that CA is doing?

Also visiting home, while great to visit family, leaves me feeling naked without being able to carry.

I cant seem to get a good answer i no this is a old form but would love for someone who is 100% sure if i can or cant to replay thanks. And i am military.

Texas and Virginia have full reciprocity. Info here http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administra ... rocity.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; does not show Virginia to be a state that requires you to be 21 in order to carry on your states resident license. Additionally, there is no mention on this page from the Virginia State Police of being 21 other than they will not issue licenses to anyone under 21 http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_Reciprocity.shtm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So, I find nothing that says you can't, but I would sure contact the Virginia State Police and talk to someone in their CCW section to get a solid answer.

And, this is NOT legal advice.

Thanks very much!!!
Now if i can just get someone from VA to call me back with a answer

Great find, will update the reciprocity map soon......

I'm thinking of moving to New Hampshire and, therefore, have been researching their laws. In addition to the above:

Open carry is completely legal with no permit.
Concealed carry requires a permit.
It is completely illegal to carry in your car - whether it is concealed or not - unless you have a NH concealed carry permit.

I haven't heard anything about NH police being hostile to people with a CHL.
