Understanding Interstate Reciprocity vs. Permitless Carry
Even if your home state does not require a concealed carry permit (Constitutional Carry), holding an official resident license significantly expands your legal protections across state borders:
Federal Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA)
Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 922(q)) prohibits firearms within 1,000 feet of school grounds UNLESS you hold a state-issued concealed handgun license from that state. Permitless carry does not grant this federal statutory defense.
Interstate Safe Passage (18 U.S.C. § 926A)
The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act (FOPA) allows continuous travel through non-reciprocal states (like NY or CA) provided firearms are unloaded, cased, and inaccessible from the vehicle cabin.
