I agree, but the harder we fight for it now, th better it will be in 2013. But one thing i fear about this bill, is that if it passed the states that oppossed it would make so many restriction on carrying in thier state that it render it almost meaningless. Unless the was a nation wide premeption of state firearm laws. But the more I think about it, it would be better if the Federal Government stayed out of it. Leave it to the states. There could be way too many intented consequences to make a basic good notion into soemthing even worse.

I only have 1, but it is recognized by every state that has provisions to honor out of state licenses. I CAN'T carry in HI, CA, OR, IL, NY, RI, CT, MA, MD, or NJ. I think MI is the only state in the nation that has it's permit recognized by every state that recognizes out of state permits.

MI recognizes all resident permits, but that has nothing to do with who reconizes a MI permit. I am not understanding what you attempted to communicate.

McX - you might want to take that paper with "cat paw prints all over it" and send it in to UT with a copy of your WI Concealed Weapons License to get into more States - even though you do not travel much now, that could change - and UT will get you into MN while your WI CWL is invalid in MN (as of this posting). You never know when you might need a cheeseburger in MN, or the other states that UT gives you that you do not have as of now.

With a UT Permit and a WI Concealed Weapons License, you could visit the Yellow Cat in Salt Lake City by exiting WI through IA and never have to disarm. Then just let your PA permit expire as UT covers every state that you got with the PA permit.

If you would consult www.handgunlaw.us you will find that the MI permit has the most recognition / reciprocity of any permit in the USA (40 states in total). However, that is only a benefit to MI residents as MI does not issue to non-residents, nor do they recognize non-resident permits from any other state - but they do recognize resident permits from all other states (except IL because IL does not allow its' residents to defend themselves and their family).

You must have a permit/license from any state in order to posses and carry a handgun openly in MI including hunting. A resident permit is only required to carry concealed in MI.

Michigan and Arkansas, I believe. With the recent addition of Maine, a Michigan CPL holder can conceal-carry in every state that recognizes and or offers reciprocation for licensees from other states.

And if you are a resident of a state which requires you to have a license in order to purchase or possess a pistol (such as Illinois), you may OC (possess) a pistol in Michigan. However, there are many restrictions on OC in Michigan... so please read the applicable possession laws before doing so.
