The states whose permits Virginia will no longer recognize are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The move means that Virginians will no longer be able to use their concealed handgun permits in six states that require a mutual reciprocity agreement: Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wyoming. The only states that have tough enough laws to maintain their reciprocity agreement with Virginia are: Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia. States are currently being notified about the change, which goes into effect on Feb. 1st 2016.

interesting. I wonder what changed about the Virginia law that made those state's laws not tough enough.

Good thing I only travel through there for maybe 1-2 hours a few times a year..

I think it has more to do with the commie governor that got elected in 2014.

So can we shove Virginia off into the ocean then?

I still say that the Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage basically paves the way for universal reciprocity.

I noticed WA also modified their reciprocity list. The reason is they now require a mental health background check to issue a CCW. I think after the shootings caused by mentally ill individuals, the states are CYA.

What the hell is a mental health background check?

The nature of rights is that CYA does not apply
