    Is there any resons not to get Virginia's nonresident chp?

    Easier and cheaper to obtain and maintain legal status.

    No intent yo circumvent the law, just the associated fees and bs.

    Licensed armed security guard. Training isnt an issue. Background checks arent an issue.

    Are you thinking of getting the VA non-resident in place of getting LA CHP? The VA non-resident would not be valid for a LA resident in the state of Louisiana. It would be valid in some other states though.

    Just to clarify, Louisiana passed legislation that a legal resident of Louisiana must have a Louisiana CHP to legally carry concealed in the state of Louisiana. This was to prevent residents from obtaining an easier to get permit, but to also lock in a revenue string.

    All i couldfind on the issue was...



    A current and valid concealed handgun permit issued by another state shall be deemed to be valid within this state if a current and valid concealed handgun permit issued by Louisiana is valid in those states. An out-of-state permit holder carrying a concealed handgun pursuant to this Paragraph is bound by the laws of this state regarding carrying a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued in accordance with this Section

    Do you have a source or date for this legislation?

    I believe that applies to reciprocity for out of state residents, not Louisiana residents. If you live in VA and have a Va permit LA honors the VA permit if VA honors a LA CHP held by an LA resident. Short answer is only a LA CHP is legal for an LA resident.

    [FONT=&quot]§1379.3. Statewide permits for concealed handguns; application procedures; definitions[/FONT]

    B.(1) A concealed handgun permit shall be issued only to a Louisiana resident who qualifies for a permit under the provisions of this Section. A concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall grant authority to a Louisiana resident to carry a concealed handgun on his person.

    (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.

    This change was enacted in 2011.

    My son fell for that BS. It is just a scam revenue producing stream. As stated above, if you are a LA resident, it does not replace your LA CHP for concealed carry in LA.
