Hi all.
My fiancé and I are planning a road trip from our place in the SF bay area to visit her family in Denver, Colorado. I'd like to OC (and/or CC) my P99 and was looking into the different laws for the states we'll be passing through.
Our intended route takes us through Nevada, Utah and part of Wyoming before we get into Colorado. We're planning on spending a night in Salt Lake City each way, but I don't think that changes anything as far as OC/CC is concerned.
Here's what I've gathered:
Notes:
The standard prohibited areas of courthouses, public office, schools, etc. apply in all 4 states.
I don't hold any concealed carry permits in any of the states. No time go get one, either.
California:
OC: nope
CC: double nope
Nevada:
CC: Permit required for residents. Non-residents need a permit from a state that NV honors.
OC: Allowed. Can be loaded (loaded magazine with round in the chamber).
Utah:
CC: Permit required for residents. Non-residents need a permit from a state that UT honors (all states honored).
OC: Non-CC holders: Allowed, must be unloaded. Unloaded = "the firearm must be unloaded and require two actions to fire." No loaded round in chamber but magazine may be loaded.
Wyoming:
CC: Residents can CC without a permit. Non-residents need a permit from a state that WY honors.
OC: Allowed. Can be loaded (loaded magazine with round in the chamber).
Colorado:
CC: Permit required for residents. Non-residents need a permit from (must be a resident of) a state that CO honors.
OC: Outside of Denver: Allowed? Can be loaded? Inside Denver: Not allowed. At all?
Has anybody here traveled to/through any of these states that can provide insight on what I've gathered? Am I generally correct in what I've been able to figure out?
Thanks!
