CCW Reciprocity Change for Louisiana and New Mexico

Until recently, New Mexico and Louisiana honored each other’s concealed carry permits. That has now changed.

Now, residents of New Mexico will no longer be allowed to carry concealed in the state of Louisiana, and vice versa. As of yesterday, the LA state government sites shows the updated lists of what state permits are honored and which are not.

This brings the number of states which honor the Louisiana CCW permit down from 38, to 37.

However, New Mexico recognizes the Virginia Non-Resident concealed carry permit, if you still want to be able to carry there as well, which brings the number back up to 44 states where you can legally carry concealed.

Louisiana residents are allowed to carry concealed in the following states:


Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire, Washington, and Georgia.

Does this effect your concealed carry in any way? Leave a comment blow to let us know.

    It is true, it is the call of the duty, for every personnel, serving the law enforcement agencies or military outfits, to respond quickly to the situation, but, they can only be there to serve effectively if they are sufficiently equipped to protect themselves, in order to protect others. In such a case, you would surely appreciate the need to source and procure Body Armour that offers effective protection.
