I just went to Ohio this weekend. I called ahead to the State Patrol and told them that I was an Indiana permit holder and he told me that I could keep my firearm on me at all times while I was in Ohio, I just had to have my permit with me and present it immediately if I came into contact with an officer. I was quite shocked and asked several times to make sure I was understood. I did find an article about the law stated in a previous post in this thread. Didn't read too much of it because I had the "approval" of the State Patrol. Just thought I'd share my experience.
One of our members, NIFT, messaged me with a few points of interest, things I had not made note of, such as that while Maine (among others) does not recognize non-resident permits from other states, they do issue their own, and that MD and NJ do likewise, though theirs are very difficult to obtain.
OK, so our LTCH covers us to carry according to the laws of the state we happen to be in in 29 states. How can we carry in the other 21 (if at all?)

Do remember that to carry a firearm in these other jurisdictions, their local laws apply. Some forbid carry in places that, to us, seem counterintuitive and even idiotic. Their laws do not have to make sense to us, any more than our own do, we still must follow them or risk fines, imprisonment, and loss of the future ability to lawfully possess firearms.
My thanks to Bob for his bringing this information out.

Bill, FL and NM again honor each other. Since May 8, 2012. So the FL Non Resident is valid in NM.

Oops, I guess I should have checked before my trip to SC. Regardless I have drove through Ill several times with a hand gun under the seat, unloaded but I did the speed limit the whole time and made sure that the registration was not near the gun incase I was pulled over. I carry for protection for myself and my family. There is no better time to do this than when traveling away from home. So I am willing to take the risk.

You may be willing but do us all a favor and don't write a bout it on the internet...

Forgot to say, It belongs to Indiana Gun Owners. Handgunlaw.us gives you all rights to it. This is not the same map on the IN Page at Handgunlaw.us It is one I created just for this site. You can remove or add anything you like. It is yours.
