Every answer on this page comes from the 2A613 reciprocity map, built from these official state pages and checked again every night.
Checked against official sources November 6, 2026. Laws change: always verify before you travel. A state where you can carry still has its own rules: places where carry is banned (schools, government buildings, airports, bars and more), magazine and ammunition limits, and duty-to-inform rules. Federal property is off limits. Inside New York City you need an NYPD license (a NY license from another county is not enough), and Washington DC honors no other state's permits. This is general information, not legal advice.
