Was just thinking about this today. Say you are a resident of a state that doesn't require a CCW Permit to CCW. Now to be considered a resident of that state all you would need is a valid ID showing residence. Now lets say you move from this state to say another state that requires a permit to CCW but recognizes permits from all other states. Example:
Pursuant to Colorado law (CRS 18-12-213), the State of Colorado will recognize a valid permit issued in another state IF the permit was issued to a resident of the state issuing the permit, and the permit tee is 21 yrs of age or older, AND the other state recognizes Colorado permits as valid in their state. Hence, a "yes" in the following table also indicates that a valid Colorado permit is recognized in that state, subject to their laws. When traveling with a Colorado permit, it is advisable to contact the state you are visiting to confirm reciprocity and to review that state's firearms laws.
The state of Colorado no longer recognizes the validity of any permit issued by any state to a nonresident of that state (see C.R.S 18-12-213 amended 2007), specifically they must be a resident of the state that issued the concealed handgun permit and must be in possession of a valid drivers license or identification card issued by that same state.
Now lets say this is the situation. You have a valid ID from the state of AZ where it is no longer required to posses a CCW PERMIT. The only requirements to conceal carry are to be a resident of this state and 21yo. This would technically make your AZ Drivers Licence or ID card a valid CCW permit showing that you are able to leagally CCW in that state.
Now I used the law of colorado above for an example. Sounds to me that if you posses an ID showing residence in AZ you can, in theory, legally conceal carry in CO without a "CCW permit". Now all that you need is a friend living in AZ to let you come out and use his house as a mailing address so that you may obtain an AZ ID card (ID cards are available to all Arizona residents, including infants, for $12.) and you just bought yourself the cheapest "CCW PERMIT" ever thought of.:banana:
