Current reciprocity?

[Obleo]

The AG's website shows 17 states with reciprocity.  Sig's map shows 24.  Does anyone know the true count and where that can be found?

This is what I find on the USA Carry web site.

I have been viewing this site for years. It is for the most part very up to date.

Isn't sigs map current with the permits he carries?

I would go with the AG's site as they are the one who decides.  You can call a state and ask them if they reciprocate if you have a question.  The AG's site is the "official" list.

I agree it's always being updated.
According to him, the DE permit is honored by 26 states.
DE has reciprocity with 17.

This is the difference.  As an example, I believe VA honors a DE permit, but DE does not have reciprocity with VA.

Thanks to all who chimed in on my question.  This was a huge help.  It looks like I need to get to PA for a non-res permit so that I can carry in Wisconsin later this year.  I find it hard to believe that we don't have a recip with Minnesota and Wisconsin but, then again, lots of gunphobes in the process.

does DE honor non-resident permits?  I am an NJ resident and have one from VA, AZ, UT & FL.

Handgunlaw.us says "Delaware Honors Non-Resident Permits/Licenses From the States They Honor."

Obleo,
I went to Wisconsin in April for 2 weeks. I packed my pistol and a rifle , locked in their cases, in the locked tool box in the bed of my pickup, while traveling through MD and IL. They were unloaded and the ammo was locked in the console of the truck. Just as a precaution I removed all decal referring to guns, ammo, and firearms organizations from my truck before leaving for the trip. I drove 3185 mile round trip and had a great time. No problems. One day my son, grandsons and 1 of their wives went to a range near Eagle Lake and had a "family range day". I think it was called McMiller's gun range. The cost was $17.00 for all day.  All of my family out there open carry when not working. Nobody pays any attention to people open carrying. I carried concealed as I was covered for the whole trip by my DE & PA permits. Except MD & Il.
Have a good time.

In Illinois you may carry a loaded and concealed handgun in your vehicle if you have any home state license.  You may not carry outside of your vehicle.

I made NO stops in MD or IL on that trip, you can be sure. Made sure I hade gas to get me to a lawful state to stay overnight going to and from WI. Drove from DE. to Zanesville, OH. then to Ft. Atkinson, Wi., and coming back to Zanesville OH. then home to DE.

I posted this in another thread, but I think it's relevant here, so that's why I'm repeating it. 

I wanted to advise everyone of a telephone conversation I just had with the A.G.'s office minutes ago.  I was advised that the A.G.'s website is considered the official publication/source of states offering reciprocity.  So we use all the other apps and sites (e.g. LegalHeat, http://www.handgunlaw.us/, etc.) at our own risk. 

That said, for those holding a DE CCDW, it's probably more important to know what states recognize our permit (as opposed to what other states are recognized here DE).  With that in mind, our A.G.'s position is probably less important than those of the state(s) we'll be visiting.   

For example, according to the DE A.G.'s website (http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/criminal/concealedweapons.shtml), we don't have reciprocity with Virginia.  Yet if you check with Virginia's State Police, they do recognize our CCDW even though DE doesn't recognize theirs.  See http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_Reciprocity.shtm

So, in my opinion, all the books/apps/sites are nice and helpful, but if you're traveling across state lines you'd better check the official resources of all the states you'll be traveling through.  To make it even more inconvenient, note that in some states, the websites are not considered official resources for law.

...and this is why we need federal interstate reciprocity (I know, I'm preaching to the choir).
