Does not apply to MD. From your link:
"If a non-resident applicant is from a state that either has a formal reciprocity
agreement with Utah or recognizes the Utah concealed firearm permit, the
applicant must hold and provide proof of a current concealed firearm or concealed
weapon permit issued by the applicant’s state of residency upon application for the
Utah concealed firearm permit"
He can renew his Utah permit unless he moves to a state that has a formal reciprocity agreement with Utah or recognizes a Utah permit. If he does move into one of these states, he should then get a resident permit from that state. What does a non-resident permit from VA do for him?
Wonder if Dreamer may have missed this key distinction or if he prefers a VA non-resident permit for another reason(s).
im surprised nobody has said this,,,
in order to be exempt from the Federal GFSZ law,
You must have a permit issued by The STATE in which the school is located.
I hear the NRA is about to get into the online training game themselves with Range Safety being the first offered to other than instructors.
Did you perhaps take this online course?

I don't believe that has ever been challenged in court. Despite the opinion issued by an ATF flunky, some people, myself included, believe that a permit that is honored by the state you are in would be sufficient. Of course, I wouldn't want to be the test case, nor would anyone else.im surprised nobody has said this,,,

Some states issue CHP's without a background check so I'd guess they won't have reciprocity with a state that does. Does anyone know of a state that requires a background check but has reciprocity with a state that does not?
I would be shocked if the NRA involved itself with online firearms safety training after the email that they sent out to all instructors
If Dreamer has established residency in Maryland, his NC permit will likely be or about to be invalid and NC does not issue non-resident permits. I'm sure that he is just trying to cover all bases.

Making sense out of reciprocity has eluded me for years. Let's use VA as an example since most here are familiar with it. A VA permit is not honored by either WA or MN; yet, both a WA and MN permit are honored by VA. VA has a training requirement for a permit; yet, VA has a full, formal reciprocity agreement with PA while PA has no permit training requirement at all. I don't have any examples of background check disparity, but based on the disparity associated with other reciprocity factors, reciprocity irrationality appears to be the rule. I would not expect anything different regarding background checks.
And on the other side of the "reciprocity nonsense" coin, let's consider MD.
Maryland DOES NOT require classroom training OR range qualification for an "unrestricted" permit being issued for non-occupational reasons. This puts the MD "unrestricted" permits in a class all by themselves in the mid-Atlantic region--they are the ONLY one in the region that DOESN'T have some sort of classroom or range requirement for proficiency and legal knowledge. The main requirement for a MD permit is that you be wealthy or well-connected, which are "qualifications" that don't hold much water in the "free" states that surround MD...

Of course not. If you're well connected enough to get a permit, then you well connected enough to get a permit without all the trouble of those pesky training classes and qualification...And on the other side of the "reciprocity nonsense" coin, let's consider MD.
