A couple of my friends and I went to the casino the other day, (Mohegan Sun), and Chris asked me if I had a firearm on me. I told him that I didn't, because while the reservation is in CT, it's NOT Connecticut land, and my permit isn't valid there.

Which led to another conversation, where another guy who's a friend of my friends told me that he could carry a firearm in CT on his MA license. He was quite insistent that Connecticut honors "like 17 other states, including Massachusetts".

Uh, no. Absolutely not. CT doesn't honor anyone else's permit. You CAN get a non-resident permit fairly easily, assuming you have a resident permit from your own state, but they don't have reciprocity with any other state. Other states honor CT's permit, but it's a one way street.

He got a bit heated about it, and I let it go. Told him I knew he was wrong, and since he's the one from MA, carrying a firearm in CT, he should go check the laws because it's his ass on the line, not mine.

So I have a question: When someone asked you if you were carrying, why did you offer him any info? Doesn't concealed mean concealed? That's what I keep hearing from all the hardos around here? Did you bring a bow and arrow, ya know to fight the indians?

iu


Although not the Chris in question. [laugh]
 
My co worker claims that if I call the CT state police and let them know I am going to CT I can carry with my MA LTC [rofl] I am like ya ok thanks guy is to stupid to argue with not worth wasting my time. He honestly believes he is right
 
I never would even think of having this conversation with a friend of a friend. And if I was somehow forced into the conversation I would have happily let them be wrong.

in what context did you post that?

FL 100% reciprocates with NH on RESIDENT permits

There is NO reciprocity on MA LTC's or NH Non Resident permits

OP said you can get a CT non- resident if you are licensed in you home state.

FL didn’t care if I were licensed in my home state when I applied for a not resident license.

ETA: Sorry. I can see I wasn’t clear.
