Virginia recognizes concealed carry permits from 38 states and the District of Columbia. This means permit holders from these jurisdictions can legally carry concealed firearms in Virginia.
Here’s a list of states offering full reciprocity with Virginia:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia.
Important Note: While these states offer full reciprocity, always check Virginia’s official website for the most up-to-date information before traveling. Laws change, and verifying details directly from the source is crucial for safe and legal concealed carry.
Recommendation: Carry a copy of your permit and any relevant documentation while traveling in Virginia. This can help avoid any potential misunderstandings with law enforcement.
