Hey guys. I just spent several hours researching this and coming up with this list, and I figured that I would share it with all of you.
Background:
I have two younger brothers. One of them, the middle brother, just turned 18, and is just as into guns as my father and I are. Now, me and my dad both have our CT carry permits (you must be 21+) as well as permits from a couple of other states. However, being 18, my brother is not yet eligible for a RTC permit, and in CT, you cannot carry either open or concealed without a permit. So, I decided that I was going to be a good older brother and do some research for him into which state’s carry permits he can get as a non-resident at 18, which states have reciprocity with those states, which states allow under 21 concealed carry for someone with an out-of-state permit, and which states honor non-resident RTC permits. Also included in the list (of course) are the list of states where he and others in his situation can Open Carry.
So here goes. If you are at the age of legal majority (18), but are not yet 21 years old, and if you live in a state which requires licensed-carry-only for those age 21 and older, these are the states from which you CAN get a right-to-carry non-resident permit:
(Note: “may issue is specified”)
New Hampshire
Maine
North Dakota
Iowa (may issue)
Maryland (may issue)
Now… According to the research that I did, Iowa has a fairly reasonable “discretionary issue” system, but is less reasonable when it comes to non-resident permits, especially to those individuals under 21. Maryland on the other hand, appears to be VERY restricted issue and hardly EVER issues non resident permits, especially to those under 21. So, for the sake of keeping everything uniform, lets just look atthe “shall-issue”states that you can recieve permits from.
This means, if someone between the ages of 18 and 20 from the licensed-carry-only for over 21 y/o states (i.e. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Georgia, and Minnesota (Indiana, North Dakota, Iowa, and Maryland have 18+ permit issuance and Utah allows 18+ open carry under condition 2)) wants to be able to carry either open or concealed and hasright-to-carry, non-residentpermits from New Hampshire, Maine,and North Dakota, these are the states in which they can carry, and HOW they can carry:
(Note: OC = Open Carry; CC = Concealed Carry)
Alabama – OC/CC
Alaska - Open Carry only
Arizona – Open Carry only
Colorado – Open Carry only
Delaware - OC/CC
Georgia - OC/CC
Idaho - OC/CC
Indiana - OC/CC
Kansas – Open Carry only
Kentucky - OC/CC
Louisiana - OC/CC
Maine - OC/CC
Michigan – Open Carry only
Mississippi - OC/CC
Missouri - OC/CC
Montana - OC/CC
Nebraska – Open Carry only
Nevada – Open Carry only
New Hampshire - OC/CC
New Mexico - OC/CC
North Carolina - OC/CC
North Dakota - OC/CC
Ohio – Open Carry only
Oklahoma – Concealed Carry only
Oregon – Open Carry only
Pennsylvania - OC/CC
South Dakota - OC/CC
Tennessee - OC/CC
Utah - CC/OC
Vermont - CC/OC
Virginia – Open Carry only
Washington – Open Carry only
West Virginia – Open Carry only
Wisconsin – Open Carry only
Wyoming - OC/CC
So, if you are in that situation, 35 states in total will allow you to carry in some form or another. This is good news for our younger friends living in 21+ licensed-carry-only states, especially in may-issue states!
On a side note, please be aware that Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and Texas ONLY recognize reciprocating states’ permits ONLY when the bearer is 21+ (eliminating the option of concealed, but not open carry in those states (except for Texas and Florida) for those of you ages 18-20 traveling in those states,) and that in Michigan, West Virginia,Florida, Kansas, and Colorado… if you are in this position, your permit is NOT valid, as it would be a non-resident permit and you are thus required to open carry (except, once again, in Florida where it’s not allowed.)
Now, if you happen to be lucky enough to get an Iowa or a Maryland permit as an under 21 non-resident, that gives you the extra states of…. well…. Iowa and Maryland!
