My apologies , Sir.
What is the difference between reciprocity( formal agreement ) and "recognizing" a permit? |
Apology accepted and sincerely appreciated!
Two things, first, I absolutely agree with the statement in your post about people should check with states they are traveling to and make sure the laws have not changed. My personal stance is that you should not trust sites like handgunlaws.us, or even the NRA because they can fall behind with the most up-to-date info (even though they try their best to be accurate). Instead, go directly to the "horses mouth" and look at the state website (typically state police or department of public safety). Second, you ask a great question about reciprocity vs. recognition. Reciprocity means that states have formal, written agreements between them accepting each others permits. Recognition means there is no formal written agreement, but, due to the states laws regarding acceptance of permits, the (in this case, Utah) permit/license will be honored in that state.
