First I was not aware of that so thank you for bringing it to my attention. Being a belt and suspenders kind of guy when it comes to legal matters I still want a permit. I wouldn't be the first guy to spend tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees proving I'm right. FOPA comes to mind. Twenty bucks plus travel time is cheap insurance in my opinion. I'd like to visit the Poconos during the fall season soon. Maybe this year, maybe next. It's one less thing to worry about.Read 11 thru 15.

Concealed Carry Reciprocity

Looks like we are shit out of luck
Correct.
Can't carry in PA on a MA permit.
Can't carry in PA on a CT permit.
You know of course I can carry in PA on my GA permit.
Quick runthrough of that site using the states I'm familiar with seems to strongly suggest that PA extends reciprocity to those states that extend reciprocity to them.
If your NH permit in resident you can carry with restrictions. If you reside elsewhere and your permit is non resident you can't carry in PA. According to USCCA's reciprocity map.And can carry in PA on my NH license.

The website didn't say what the restrictions were and I have to admit I'm curious about what they could be.Like I said, can carry in PA on my NH license.

I remember hearing some time ago that Pennsylvania's agreement with New Hampshire was in jeopardy. I really don't recall on any other details I just remember hearing it. I was quoting the uscca's website. That's enough to make me wonder if carrying on a resident New Hampshire CCW is actually legal. Like I said earlier in this thread with regard to legal matters I'm a belt and suspenders type of guy. Your mileage may vary."The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall recognize all valid NH Licenses issued to legal residents of the State of New Hampshire who are 21 years of age or older; the rights and privileges of NH License holders recognized under this Reciprocity Agreement shall be the same as, and not greater than, those rights and privileges granted to P A License holders under Pennsylvania law."
Doesn't seem particularly restrictive.
I downloaded the reciprocity letter from the PA AG's website, but, hey, go with USCCA by all means. By the way, the USCCA map posted lists the only PA restriction as "at least 21 years old and resident permits only," so exactly what the AG's letter said.I remember hearing some time ago that Pennsylvania's agreement with New Hampshire was in jeopardy.

Residing in Massachusetts I don't have a dog in this race. So whatever is true doesn't really concern me at all. I was only commenting on the source of my information. I understand that New Hampshire is now constitutional carry. However when they send me a renewal for my non-resident license I renew it. Again belt and suspenders.I downloaded the reciprocity letter from the PA AG's website, but, hey, go with USCCA by all means.

I live in MA and my mom is in PA, along with one branch of work. About 5 years ago my NH non-res license got me PA. As quoted in post-20, PA now only recognizes NH licenses issued to NH residents.

Unfortunately that list is woefully outdated, as I'm finding out just now.This link lists the counties that do and don't. Firearm/Gun Information for Each Pennsylvania County

The governor is no longer extending expirations, yet the sheriff that issued my now-expired license still isn't accepting applications. Go figure.
No, I want to actually carry in PA, I go there often. They only accept resident out of state licenses so any of my non-res ones are no good.Assuming that you're using non-res PA because it's multi-state;
you might want to look at Utah, Virginia and Florida - their non-resident permits are accepted in many states.
