The problem is, that it seems each State that has Conceal Carry Laws, has its own unique plan.
A Conceal Carry Permit issued by South Carolina may not be honored by other States that have Conceal Carry Laws of their own.
The variety of CWP laws prevents the feds from making them somehow illegal with a stroke of the pen. Their variety can be explored at http://www.packing.org
We activist citizens need to be familiar with the concept of a political tar-pit (teergruben in German IIRC).
The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.
While you are correct in saying that KY does not issue non resident permits, KY does honor other state permits that honor KY permits. KY Is a reciprocal state
Concealed Carry latest update is still from November 2001 You can check further with the Office of the Secretary of State ? www.dos.state.fl.us Check the web site or call 850 414-5500 for further information.
States that WILL HONOR Florida licenses:
Alabama
Mississippi
Alaska
Montana
Arkansas
New Hampshire
Georgia
North Dakota
Idaho
Pennsylvania
Indiana
Tennessee
Kentucky
Texas
Louisiana
Utah
Michigan
Wyoming
Vermont
The reciprocity is for firearms, not necessarily other weapons. It's a good idea to check with the Secretary of State of each state you intend to travel through or stay at before a trip.
IF you are looking at tech jobs try the Knoxville, Oak Ridge area. Climate is decent.
