MN Now Honors CA and NC. . . . MN has Dropped DE. . . . CT, FL, HI, MD

Connecticut – Governor has signed File No. 841 which is the substitute for HB 6667. Effective date is October 1, 2023.  Open Carry will be banned. There is a safe storage law and other changes. You can read the bill at   https://www.cga.ct.gov/2023/FC/PDF/2023HB-06667-R000841-FC.PDF

Florida and Other Permitless Carry States  –  Come July 1 Florida will be a Permitless Carry State but they will also then honor all other states permits at that time. Want to add here that West Virginia, Maine and New Hampshire though Permitless Carry States they didn’t change their laws on honoring other states permits. It really matters in Maine as it can be a trap. You need a permit Maine issues or honors to carry in their state parks and National Parks and they still don’t honor all other states permits. You can see Maine’s listing at    https://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/licenses-permits/concealed-carry-maine/reciprocity

Hawaii -  The Governor has signed HB 1230 which the best word I can describe it with is Garbage.   The list of so called Sensitive Places is longer than your arm.  Now training is required to obtain a permit and the state has until the end of the year to certify instructors so no permits until next year.  It becomes effective July 1, 2023. You can read the bill at  https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/sessions/session2023/bills/SB1230_CD1_.pdf

Maryland – The Governor has signed SB0001 and it is terrible. Effective October 1, 2923.  Looks like there will be a lot of court cases over not only MD but HI and CT as well. You can read the bill at     https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2023RS/bills/sb/sb0001E.pdf

Minnesota -  Minnesota has added California and North Carolina to the list of states permits it will honor.  It will no longer honor the Delaware permit. You can see their new listing at    https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-divisions/administrative/Pages/permit-to-carry-reciprocity.aspx
