Info on New Mexico, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi and Arkansas.

New Mexico has signed an agreement with Idaho. NM will honor the ?Enhanced Permit? issued by ID. ID just started issuing an Enhanced Permit for the specific reason that more states would honor their enhanced permit. It takes additional training to obtain the Idaho Enhanced Permit but the cost is the same. Handgunlaw.us would appreciate an image of the new Enhanced Permit to add to the ID Page.

Illinois is now a ?Shall Issue? state. There are numerous places off limits. Other than being Shall Issue they do allow you to store your firearm in your vehicle in most places that are off limits. They also have a safe journey section. If you have a permit/license to carry from your state of residence you can keep your concealed firearm on your hip while travelling through Illinois. You must unload it before exiting the vehicle.

Mississippi is a mess with a Hines Co. Judge putting a stay on their new Open Carry law. The AG has weighted in saying he didn?t believe it affected the whole state but would not put it in writing. Some Counties are allowing Open Carry even with the stay. The AG stated he would ask the Mississippi Supreme Court to settle the question. Again it is a mess.

Arkansas amended their firearm laws that take effect August 16. They gave a definition to the term, ?Journey.? It states a Journey is outside the county you reside in. Some are stating it gives Arkansas Constitutional Carry and other stating Open Carry is legal. The AG has issued an opinion stating that Open Carry is still illegal. Another mess that will take the courts months to figure out. Handgunlaw.us recommends you don?t open carry or conceal carry without a valid permit/license to carry until this mess is straightened out. Starting Aug. 16 AR will honor all other states permit/licenses.

What to thank all who assisted me with Arkansas, Mississippi and especially Illinois with their new law. Your assistance is very much appreciated. www.Handgunlaw.us has been updated to show the changes in states laws that are in effect as of today. Others will be updated when their laws take effect.
