So what do all you guys with permits plan to do starting tomorrow? Seems like it is impossible NOT to break the law during the course of most people's normal day.
So who got it? I hope it's Todd or Andrew from HiFiCo. They busted their asses to help make this happen.

If you're exclusively carrying non-resident CCW permits from various states (as Hawaii residents have been forced to do), it's advisable to have permits from a few states.
The agreements and rules for reciprocity tend to change. One agreement can expire, leaving a "gap" between the expiration date and whenever they get around to renewing the agreement. For example, if Ohio honors Florida's permits, for both FL residents and non-residents, but the agreement was for a 5 year period, that period might end while you're traveling to Ohio. You might not be aware the agreement hasn't been renewed, so technically you are carrying without a permit.
You might also be traveling with a non-resident CCW permit from FL, not knowing the Ohio law changed to not honor NR permits from FL. Again, the goal posts moved without you knowing. Perhaps FL enacted a new, less strict law for non-resident CCW permits that Ohio doesn't like, so they stopped honoring that state's NR permits.
There are many other ways to get caught during travel with a permit that was okay before but is now invalid where you are heading.
If Ohio also honors AZ, NV, UT or other "popular" states' NR permits, and you have one of those in addition to FL, you'd be covered if FL is suddenly rejected.
Overlap and redundancy can help keep you from breaking the law when traveling, Also, since not all permits are honored in the same states, a second permit might offer a few more states in which to carry that your first permit doesn't. Added bonus!
I look forward to national reciprocity, where non-resident permits are sold on eBay as collectibles.
Funny thing why I even bothered to get an Az CCW since it is not needed within the state.
Carry to neighboring free states was part of it.
Main thing was to be able to buy and walk out with a new firearm, no waiting time.
Lot of guys selling guns local want it and a state ID.
Took mine about 90 days. I used an Arizona group that handled all the paperwork for me and hand submitted it.
