You also have to hone up on the law in whatever state you are in. My permit from Florida is good in lots of other states but I must follow their law and not Florida's. For instance in Florida the statutes have no requirement how I carry as long as it is concealed, Georgia (which my permit is good in) has a stipulation that you must carry in a holster, granted that can be any kind of holster, belt, pocket, etc. But I must obey their law.

Pete is right. there are some states that issue non resident permits and some that don't. some of the one's that do, those nonresident permits aren't recognized as having reciprocity. It's confusing but here is a website that might get you started.

ill have to look, they also do things alittle different for AD, but ill see what that site has to say

Another one is it's perfectly ok to carry in Church in Florida and not so in Georgia.

I forget the state they were talking about, and think it was Mass, but last night on talk radio they were talking about trying to overturn a law that says you can point a gun at a home invader but NOT shoot.

Thank goodness Florida doesn't have dumb laws like that.

Very good advice to be sure you know the particular state's laws where you plan to carry as "I didn't know" won't work very well in court.

Oh and here is the complete list of the state you mentioned's recipricocity laws state by state:

I had a CCP from Florida, so that I could handgun Hunt in MI. The laws in MI are a bit funky, I would make sure you check the laws before you do things like turn in an out of state DL for a MI one.

After shooting one today, I'd go with a HK P30

I was looking into those, didn't like that they didn't have a safety. They do have the HK P30s but it's got dual ambidextrous safeties and such. I dunno I'm going to look at them in person and a regular HK USP Compact 40 cal Wednesday.

Devan as AD you will qualify for a resident CCW. Just keep in mind that while AD you have to worry about transport on and off base. If you live on post it is very difficult to carry.

One of the most ridiculous things ever.

Devan, in Michigan, any State's CWP is recognized. But as far as I know, an out-of-state permit isn't transferable for a Michigan CWP, so you'll be required to pass all of the requirements here. But I don't see that you should have any trouble in getting one here in Michigan, once you're living here.

When you get here, there are a couple of indoor ranges that rent different styles and models of pistols so you can try them out. A few of my friends have gone that route while trying to decide what to buy.

BTW, my carry gun is a Springfield Armory V-10 Ultra compact .45. I also carry a S&W 915 at times. My competition pistol is a ParaOrdance P14.45. I've seen pretty much every make and model of semi-auto, but I'm partial to John Browning's 1911 design.

You dont know the half of it. Needless to say one could argue that people have died because of the restriction. I wont go any deeper but it is a pile of garbage!

Devanmc · 01-02-2011, 07:07 PM

derringers are pretty handy.

gettysburgfreak · 01-03-2011, 11:50 AM

Just my .2 but I would look into the compact HK P2000. We use the full size at work and I really like it. Wasn't crazy with it at first but after nearly 4k rounds through it and not a single hick up I love it.

Drez · 01-03-2011, 01:49 PM

get a glock or a spring field xd series. i own both and carry both for work and could not be happier.

357 · 01-03-2011, 02:03 PM

That is very similar to my IWB. I carry the 5 inch full size model. I can carry with shorts and a T-shirt without people noticing.
