WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE BOTH VA & UTAH PERMITS?

EXPANDED RECIPROCITY = BROADER LEGAL COVERAGE

EXPANDED RECIPROCITY = BROADER LEGAL COVERAGE

EXPANDED RECIPROCITY = BROADER LEGAL COVERAGE

 Every state sets its own reciprocity agreements.


Not all states honor a Virginia permit,
Not all states honor a Utah permit, &
Some states honor one — but not the other
 

By carrying both permits, you significantly increase the number of states where you can legally carry.


CURRENT VA LAWS ARE GOING TO BE CHANGING THIS DRAMATICALLY, LOSING UP TO 25-30 STATES OF RECIPROCITY.  THE UTAH CARRY WILL GIVE YOU MAJORITY OF THOSE LOST, BACK... 

INCREASED LEGAL FLEXIBILITY

EXPANDED RECIPROCITY = BROADER LEGAL COVERAGE

EXPANDED RECIPROCITY = BROADER LEGAL COVERAGE

 Holding both permits can offer:


Coverage in additional states not covered by Virginia alone,  stronger travel protection in border states,  backup coverage if one permit lapses,  additional documentation showing formal training and background checks
 

It’s not about carrying everywhere.
It’s about being prepared wherever you go — legally and responsibly.

PROTECTION AGAINST LAW CHANGES

PROTECTION AGAINST LAW CHANGES

PROTECTION AGAINST LAW CHANGES

 Firearms laws are not static. States update reciprocity agreements and concealed carry statutes regularly.


If one state:

Suspends reciprocity with Virginia
Modifies non-resident recognition
Changes permit recognition standards
 

Having a second permit can prevent you from suddenly losing carry privileges while traveling.

Redundancy is responsible planning.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

PROTECTION AGAINST LAW CHANGES

PROTECTION AGAINST LAW CHANGES

 Concealed carry laws vary by state and can change without notice.


Always verify current reciprocity and local restrictions before traveling.
