Texas driver's license and voting card acquired. I did not follow through on the LTC because by that time, the CC law was active; AND, if my Va CHP is still good, Texas does share reciprocity with VA. I do need to investigate this better. Thanks for the response.
Waiting periods
I live in a state (Colorado)that is in the process of passing a 3 day wait period to purchase a firearm.
This has nothing to do with safety. As many of us can attest to, many firearm purchases are spur of the moment, emotional buys. If Amazon had a 3 day waiting period Bezos would be living under a bridge.
If gunbroker had a breathalyzer on their app I would be richer.
Again and again how do our "leaders" miss the point that it's not the lawful, legitimate enthusiasts that a f#$k things up?

I just found this on the usacarry website "A resident concealed carry permit is only good so long as that person is a resident of that state."Pretty confident when I state this.........."Upon establishing Texas residency, One must obtain a Texas Driver's License, the same applies to Texas' LTC. DPS is the applicable agency administering these matters.
For anyone else with the same question.
I still need to read more, but I am reading this in that, being a resident of Texas, I can carry in Texas. I am no longer able to carry in Va. I would have to check the laws of the states in between. For instance, I believe Tennessee allows concealed carry by non-residents.
You would be well served to provide a copy of the documents to a third party such as your lawyer if you have one, insurance agent.
For me that's easy. I don't sell firearms, and if I ever did, It'd be to someone I know personally. Besides that, Record the model, Serial number and a picture of gun. On top of that I'd do a photocopy of the buyers' driver's license. All for my own records, plus a bill of sale, with both our signatures. JMO
3 days doesn't seem like that long of a time to be considered a cool off period. I'm honestly surprised the anti's haven't pushed for a 30 day wait on all firearm purchases. wouldn't effect me though. a lot of my purchases are done through a six month layaway process. if i can wait half a year before getting a new firearm then what's another 3 days. as for the argument about a woman needing a pistol to defend herself from her ex... no one waits until they suspect there's going to be a fire to purchase an extinguisher. you should already have one on hand.
Definition of a "Butter". I support The Constitution along with The Second Amedment............BUT. Note: I AM NOT A BUTTER! And those who cannot read and comprehend 1791 English, but yet claim to support BUT are Butters!
No, the only people that even have a hint of what I have, is me, myself & I. It's nobody else's business. I do keep all pertinent and important documents in a fireproof safe. As far as firearms insurance goes. I have all of mine on a separate insurance company and policy that specialize in those types of policies. Home insurance policies will only cover just so much. And the 'mainstream insurance carriers' have been under intense pressure by the left. So, in the end, for me at least, I choose a 2A friendly insurance company, that has a record of such. Just me, but they are my property & my responsibility to make sure I'm covered. Privacy Is King when it comes to our firearms.You would be well served to provide a copy of the documents to a third party such as your lawyer if you have one, insurance agent.
You've just identified an important characteristic of reciprocity laws. Some states have widespread reciprocity and allow non-residents to use their permits to enjoy that reciprocity, but others require their states' permit holders to be residents of their states to use their permits.I just found this on the usacarry website "A resident concealed carry permit is only good so long as that person is a resident of that state."

Another wrinkle is that even if a state allows non-residents to use its permits, some states require the holder of a permit to be a resident of the permit's state to enjoy that state's reciprocity.
That's why it's just easier to get one's own state's permit even if the state has constitutional carry. It makes carrying across state lines much easier.
Idaho doesn’t even require a CWL to purchase same day, just fill out the 4473 and wait for an approval. Usually takes less than 15 minutes. An enhanced CWL will save you the fifteen minutes as they put your license number on the 4473 and send you out the door. Love this state.In Texas, We have Constitutional Carry along with License to Carry. For those of Us w/ LTC(s), there is NO Waiting Period, because We have already been Vetted.
Colorado was the same until very recently. All the libs that moved to Colorado brought their politics of failure with them and have made this beautiful state into East California.Idaho doesn’t even require a CWL to purchase same day, just fill out the 4473 and wait for an approval.

Mandatory public hangings for mass shooters is the answer - not more gun laws that only affect law abiding citizens.
Remember that freak that shot up the theater several years ago? He was found guilty and sentenced to death. But our leftist governor commuted his sentence to life in prison - on the taxpayer's dime.
The absence of capital punishment for the scumbags of society is what encourages more crime - not the ability to buy guns without waiting periods. Why can't the stupid libs understand this?
Mt folks lived there for a while until about 20 years ago, and it was a nice place to visit when I went to see them. Now, I despise having to go farther south than Ft. Collins. The place is an absolute mess.Colorado was the same until very recently.

Sorry, I don't believe in compromising away my Constitutional Rights. What would we get in return for this "compromise"? Nothing. We just loose more ground. And every time our side has tried to compromise, for example, we'll let you have a red flag law if you give us national CCW, they have a fit because to them, compromise means if they want X times four and we let them have X times three, that's their compromise, not taking quite as much as they first wanted.A reasonable compromise would be a three day wait for the first weapon you purchase. After that, anything you buy you take home with you. The "cooling off period" is rather absurd once you are a gun owner.
I read somewhere that Ada County ID is processing some 15,000 CA drivers licenses each year.
Boise is my home town, and today has one of the worst commutes in the nation...
Multiple helicopter traffic services, dirty air, crime, bums, drugs... all those CA virtues are flooding into ID.
They bring their problems and feral children, and eventually turn ID into CA.

depends on state , no non sense like that in Wv , private sales are legal and paperless within the stateWell.... actually you can purchase handguns through private sales. The seller must ensure that you are not a prohibited person. They must hold a record of the purchase for ten years.
loks like its the other way around , as of 2021 Wv honors Pa CCW as long as the holder is 21 or better , PA does not recognize wv CCWSome Constitutional Carry laws only apply to residents of that State. I live in Pennsylvania. My right to "constitutional carry" does not exist in the State of West Virginia. I would have to establish residence there to have that right.
You might want to check for reciprocity for your CCW.
As they have done to Arizona. They also send housing and land prices through the roof. But we also have the added burden of a massive invasion of criminal aliens. Our tax money goes not to our infrastructure, but to support the invaders. And crime skyrockets while our quality of life dwindles. Arizona used to be a great place. No more. I was actually thinking of moving to Idaho. Thanks for bursting my bubble.all those CA virtues are flooding into ID.

That is a state specific thing.I am now a resident of Texas. What I really need to do is find out if my VA CHP remains in effect even though I am no longer a resident of Va.
My state accepts permits from all states but you MUST be a resident of the state the permit is from, other states do not have that requirement.
That should not be a problem. Can't wait three days?I live in a state (Colorado)that is in the process of passing a 3 day wait period to purchase a firearm.

That is the ridiculous part of the law. Nope I just gotta kill someone with this particular new gun and not any of the ten other guns I've bought legally with all the paper work so they know I have them. Here it is a ten day waiting period which typically takes 18 to 21 days. Holidays and weekends aren't days. In addition every LGS around here I've dealt with sucks up to the atf and waits till whenever they decide to release it. The state law says the gun can be released after ten business days whether or not the atf says it can be released. In fact sportsman's warehouse, where I made my last purchase, a Ruger PPC 9mm, added an additional 5 days of their own. I told them that's the last purchase from me for anything from them. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars there by l over the years. Screw them.A reasonable compromise would be a three day wait for the first weapon you purchase. After that, anything you buy you take home with you. The "cooling off period" is rather absurd once you are a gun owner.
That law serves no purpose other than to harras law abiding gun owners who go by the book and prevents 0 crime. Anyone can buy a gun off the street in a matter of hours and they do.
It's not gonna be 3 days. 3 days regarding these laws will in reality be 7 to 15 days. Wait and seeThat should not be a problem. Can't wait three days?
Waiting periods are of the same value as covid masks. Worthless devices dreamt up by power drunk people who lawlessly take a portion of your income for what they view as protection money.
If all of my weapons fail at once, and I need a gun...destiny says my ticket is punched.
Last few weapons I have bought, I ordered from Davidsons. A "self induced," waiting period?
All that said,
It is a stupid idea. And plainly an infringement. It really cannot be defined any other way. Same as the masks.
Some may be comfortable with the taste of shoe leather...
I would rather skip the bootlicking.
