HB 3650

Abstract

Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that a non-resident may carry a handgun in accordance with the Act if the non-resident: (1) is 21 years of age or older; (2) has in his or her immediate possession a valid license or permit that authorizes the individual to carry a concealed firearm, issued to him or her by a state whose training requirements to obtain a license or permit are substantially similar to those requirements contained in the Act; and (3) is a legal resident of the United States. Provides that the Department of State Police shall recognize any license or permit issued by a state whose requirements to obtain a license or permit are substantially similar to those firearms training requirements contained in the Act. Provides that when another state requires this recognition to be by reciprocal agreement, the Department of State Police shall enter into a reciprocal agreement with that state. Provides that if a resident of another state who is the holder of a valid license or permit to carry a concealed firearm issued by another state, recognized by the Department of State Police, establishes legal residence in this State, the license or permit shall be valid in this State for 90 days following the date on which the holder of the license establishes legal residence in this State. Lists criteria for which a person may establish legal residence in this State. Effective immediately.
