Turnaround time on VA nonresident permits?

[BUFF7MM]

How confident, or unconfident, should I be that HB52 will pass and become law? Wondering if I should bother to apply for a VA permit.

Do you travel to any of the surrounding states?

I mailed mine saturday. Kinda nervous though. The leo that fingerprinted me put his name and address in the employer section. it says to leave it blank. What do you guys think? Will i have to redo it?

OOPS

If you read the instructions that come with the application packet.
It was very specific that the leo doing the finger printing write down his phone number/contact.
From what I have read on here. Virgina is very specific as to following their application to a "T" when applying
7 days and counting till I recieve mine.
Best of luck

Did u send a copy of your drivers liscense as a photo i.d.?

When VA says "within 30 days," they mean "30 days at the latest."

When FL says "within 90 days," they mean "pound sand, MFer."

That is not even close to slightly exaggerated. I just finally received my FL CCW in the mail today, almost 4 months after submitting the paperwork.

Just be prepared for a ghetto looking permit. I've had mine for one year and the lamination is already peeling apart.

200 days, although I gotta admit there was a background thing I needed to clear up first. But they seem to have speeded up the process from what I am hearing

Well, I did send an email to them the other day requesting the packet. I am hoping that it shows up on Saturday. I am thinking I will probably not have the permit in time for my trip, but this is something I have been meaning to do for a LONG time anyhow, so I might as well do it.

Time to exercise my rights!

It does look pretty amateurish, especially compared to FL, UT or NV. Even given that, it's better looking than MD's. Oh wait, no one has ever seen one of those.

New to the forums here, been a lurker for a long time though.
I just emailed the VSP for my out of state handgun permit.

Thanks to everyone on here, for the information....

I am not sure what website to believe; USA Carry says that the VA non-resident CCW is good in WVa. Also, WVa is an open carry state, so if you are driving through, then put it in plain view and you will be OK no matter who is wrong and who is right.

Perhaps BaltimoreBaySide hasn't had a chance to read that thread, but it reads to me that Marylanders with a Va CCW are OK to carry concealled in WVa. That's what I thought....

Carryconcealed web site is seriously out of date. WV started honoring non resident VA permits last July. I have sent the site admins numerous emails requesting it to be updated and received no response. They also show NV as still honoring UT and FL permits, which also stopped last July. Using concealedcarry.net will end up getting you a felony arrest if you believe the info they have there.

The only two up to date sites I trust are:

www.handgunlaw.us and the aforementioned www.usacarry.com

The definitive answer for any state is either the AG or state police website for that state.

Thanks for the update, I was checking out many sites while having my morning coffee. I will add these two websites to my favorites and delete the older out of date one....

thanks guys!

Note that in the paste-in by BaltimoreBayside, www.concealedcarry.net also asserts that "Maryland IS an open carry state," which is false. It also says that "fully pre-empted open carry (is) permitted on foot or with vehicles with a license." This may be technically true, inasmuch as the statute applies to both concealed carry and open carry, but in practice if the holder of a carry permit fails to conceal, it is likely to be regarded as a violation of the type of discrete behavior that the Maryland State Police require of permit holders, resulting in revocation of the permit, unless the permit holder is a uniformed bank guard or the like. Also, the Maryland pre-emption laws, while important, have important exceptions and gaps -- hardly full pre-emption. So that website is not just out of date, but unreliable.
