A basis for CCW

Every state is different, but most states require their own residents to get home state carry permits, rather than recognize ones that were previously issued in another state. Only a few other states will even accept NC CCWs for NC residents. If I knew to what state you were moving I might could give you a more precise answer, but I don't know the laws of all 50 states.

Has really good info about all the states...

Of course, there is nothing wrong with getting the NC CCW, since you must be a resident.

Once you move, presumably, it would not be valid, though Indiana, Kentucky, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming would accept a Non-Resident NC permit, so if you travle there, and your new state of residence doesn't have reciprocity with a particular state, or you travel back to NC, since they have NO reciprocity with any state, you will be able to remain armed...

For Non-Resident permit's, many choose Florida's, and Utah's. Those 2 give you about 20 states where you can carry, and can be done through the mail... Just submit the app, and pay the fee's.

Well, not a REAL resident, just in the service, which, allows me to claim residency for all kinds of things. The CCW just happens to be one. I guess that I'll get my FLA CCW, because that's where I'm a resident of. But I don't know if I will be moving there when I get out next March..
