Virginia’s concealed carry permit isn’t recognized in several states. This means if you carry a concealed firearm in Virginia, you cannot legally carry it in these states without obtaining a separate permit.
Currently, states without reciprocity with Virginia include: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington, D. C.
Always check state-specific laws before traveling. Regulations change frequently. Confirm current laws with the relevant state authorities to avoid legal complications.
Planning a trip? Contact the state’s authorities or consult a reputable legal resource for the most up-to-date information on concealed carry laws. Safe and responsible gun ownership requires awareness of the legal framework in every location.
