Gun laws change frequently and without notice, vary by locality, and can be interpreted differently by courts and officers — reciprocity and carry status can change at any time.

What this map shows (and what it can't)

The map combines two things for every destination: whether it honors your permit (reciprocity) and whether it has permitless carry that covers visitors. It can't know your personal eligibility, local ordinances, or today's litigation — so treat it as a verified starting point, then confirm with the official state source linked on every state page before you carry. Deep-link any view by copying the URL (for example, ?state=tx reopens the map on Texas).

Map FAQ

How do I use this concealed carry reciprocity map?

Select the state that issued your carry permit (or tap it on the map). Every state instantly colors: dark green means permitless carry (no permit needed), green means it honors your permit, amber means conditional, red means it does not honor it. Tap any state for details, or flip the toggle to see whose permits a state honors.

What states honor my concealed carry permit?

Pick your state on the map above for the exact list. Most permits work in 25–38 states once you include the permitless-carry states where no permit is needed at all.

Is this reciprocity map up to date for 2026?

Yes — every state’s status is verified against official state sources (attorney general, state police and statutes), and the verification date is shown on the map. Laws change at any time, so always confirm with the official source before carrying.

Yes, free — open the ‘Embed this map’ panel below the map and copy the code. Attribution to FreedomsLodge.com is included and required.

Was the national concealed carry reciprocity act passed?
