As of August 9, 2013 holders of VA non-resident CCPs lost their ability to any-carry in Philly and to CC in the rest of Pennsylvania without a PA LTCF.

NOTICE: http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/Crime/Firearm_Reciprocity_Notice_Virginia.pdf

MODIFIED RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT (note limitation to residents): http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/Crime/VA_Executed_Amended_Agreement_2013.pdf

Bottom line:

1. Dual PA/VA residents are OK provided they have proof of VA residence and VA CCP on their person.
2. VA residents with VA CCPs are also OK.
3. Non-residents of VA (including PA residents) may no longer carry in PA on VA non-resident permits.

Take it easy ... these agreements change all the time ...

Yes, they certainly do.

This particular agreement is special because it is the second rollback of other-state non-resident license validity in PA, which the AG campaigned on. There are PLENTY of people who ran out to get FL permits (as well as VA). These permits are now less useful than they were before the modification.

Just think about how a commercial trucker or tourist would feel finding out their non-resident FL permit is no longer recognized in Philly.:shocker:

Thanks for the info. As a point of clarification in VA it's a CHP - concealed handgun permit :)
