What is Constitutional carry?
Although the terms constitutional carry, Permitless carry and unrestricted carry are often used interchangeably, definitions of these terms differ.
· Constitutional carry: Constitutional carry means that the state’s law does not prohibit citizens who can legally possess a firearm from carrying handguns, (openly and/or in a concealed manner) thus no state permit is required. Sometimes, constitutional carry may be conditional such as in those states that have no laws prohibiting the open carry of a handgun, but which require a permit to carry the handgun concealed.
What does a Non-resident Utah, Arizona, Florida permit do for me?
It offers you the ability to carry in other states that have reciprocity with Utah, Arizona, Florida. Some states have restrictions.
