Concealed Carry Reciprocity States 2024

Concealed carry refers to the practice of carrying a weapon, commonly a handgun, in public in a concealed or hidden manner. All 50 U.S. states have laws in place allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons. Some states have Constitutional Carry or shall-issue permit laws, while others make it more difficult with may-issue permit laws or no-issue laws.

Contrary to concealed carry is open carry, which permits a person to legally carry their firearm in a holster or attached to a sling on their person for easy access. Concealed carry reciprocity means that one’s concealed carry permit or license is valid beyond the issuing states. This varies from state to state, and you must follow the laws of the state in which you are carrying.

California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York will not honor concealed carry permits from any other U.S. state. Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York are no-issue states for concealed carry permits.
