Trenton, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)-Â Earlier this week, rumors began circulating that anti-gun Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane had invalidated the Keystone State’s concealed carry reciprocity agreement with Utah.
Unfortunately, those rumors are true.
Pennsylvania no longer honors Utah non-resident permits, and those attempting to carry in Pennsylvania with a Utah non-resident permit are subject to arrest and prosecution.
ANJRPC is reviewing all available options and will have additional updates.
ANJRPC is currently suing the State of New Hampshire over a similar but unrelated carry reciprocity issue.

Doesn’t PA have a open carry law anyway, or is that just for residents ?
We need a federal permit to carry anywhere in any state or province or possession. Period!!!!
I live in VA and starting in Feb my VA permit won’t be accepted. I took the Utah ccw nonresident class only to find out it is not accepted in PA now. You can however; get a PA nonresident permit.
Looks like I will not be traveling to Pennsylvania I would bet that they will lose some cash during the vacation season
I live in NJ you can’t fart with out a permission here! But my family goes to the poconos every year for vacation we rent a cabin hike in the woods and I also hunt in Ohio so my son and I took the conceledcarry class so we could carry in PA and ohio well now I guess it’s just Ohio ! Can I open carry in PA ?
See how permits are an infringement of the 2nd Amendment. Come to Alaska you don’t need no stinkin permit. Open or concealed no permit required only duty to inform if approached by officers. Of course couple no carry places.
This sucks I thought something looked different while researching getting the UTAH permit. Having PA would be nice as I’m stuck here in CT the liberal cesspool. Having to go through less BS states as possible while driving from this hellhole is why I want UTAH. Looking less attractive at this point.
Never thought PA would cave… I knew NJ sucked.. That why my retirement and life savings will be spent in the south…
My family used to vacation in PA because I could keep my family safe. We spent a lot of money in PA for MANY years! Looks like my money will now be spent on the Delaware shores.. SAD!!
PA. Recognizes Arizona and Virginia non resident licenses
