    I hope someone can answer this. My son received an email from Virginia Concealed Carry touting a Virginia Non-resident license. They imply that since LA and VA have reciprocity, the VA license is good here. I have friends in Richmond, and getting a VA CHP is easier than getting a driver's license. He paid $65 to Concealed Online, and received a Certificate of Completion for an online shooter course. No class required, no shooting required. Image is below. He received this in a followup email:

    Dear xxxx,
    Thank you for your order. Your Certificate of Completion is attached to this email and your order details are below.

    You must complete the below steps to submit the official application for your concealed handgun permit. Please read carefully. Failure to include required items in your application package will result in your permit application being rejected.

    It is BS.

    LA Revised Statute RS 40:1379.3

    B(2) "A Louisiana resident shall be required to possess a valid concealed handgun permit issued by the state of Louisiana pursuant to the provisions of this Section in order to carry a concealed handgun in the state of Louisiana."

    shall=law. If he's an LA resident, having a non-resident permit would probably make for a bad day if he had to prove his permit status. Horribly irresponsible of these websites that are trying to sell this to people.

    Its a scam. If he is a resident of Louisiana, he must have a La CHP. Louisiana does not accept non-resident permits.

    It is BS.
