VA Concealed Carry with out-of-state driver's license?

[awiz11]

Hi, I'm in the military, would like to get a VA concealed carry permit, but I'm on a ND driver's license. Anyone know if this is okay or do I need a VA license? thx, awiz11

hmm..good question - I don't know the answer right off and will have to defer to another member to pick up the slack. I'll know next time someone asks this question though!

Welcome to the forum awiz and thank you for your service!

I think your best bet is going to be to call the VSP. You can look HERE but I don't think you'll find your answer.

You will probably need to get a non-resident CHP since you're still considered a ND resident.

ND does not have reciprocity with VA so you probably do need to get a VA non-resident permit to carry in the Old Dominion.

Hi,

As an active duty servicemember stationed in VA, you may (and should) apply for a VA RESIDENT concealed handgun permit. I hold a resident CHP with a FL driver's license... no problems. I verified the validity of this at the courthouse while applying for the permit.

You will need a copy of your orders, stationing you in VA, when you apply.

I also am active duty military stationed in VA and have a KY D.L. All I needed was my military ID and $50 with the application to obtain my CWP.

Thanks for the clarification from the active duty guys.

So, active duty, here on orders - regardless of residency - can get a VA RESIDENT Concealed Handgun Permit.
