NOTICE: Pennsylvania May Not Honor Non-Resident CHLs PDF Print E-mail

It is being reported that Pennsylvania may not be honoring non-resident Concealed Handgun Licenses any longer. As Ohio does not have reciprocity with our neighbor to the east, many CHL holders (including this author) has received a New Hampshire or other non-resident license that allows us to carry in PA.

A letter written by the Pennsylvania Attorney General has been posted on www.handgunlaw.us that says in part:
... we [the AG's office] have been advised that some law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania, including the Pennsylvania State Police, are taking the position that our reciprocity agreements with other states do not confer a right to carry a firearm in Pennsylvania on those license holders who do not reside in the state in question...

Please be aware of the alledged change in policy and be sure to carry within the law when visiting Pennsylvania.
