Yeah! As of January 1st 2011, Iowa's bill SF 2379 became law. CCW is now legal in Iowa and they accept out of state and non-resident CCW permits:

As a non-resident Florida CCW permit holder, I've been waiting for Florida to formally update their list of reciprocity states and I just noticed tonight that they finally did that. It is located at:

(The killer on that list for us non-resident FL permit holders is footnote #4 (with a bit of a caution on #5 as well). However that's not a problem with Iowa so I/we are good to go.)

So I'm up to 32 states I can CCW now as a non-resident of FL: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. If I were an actual FL resident, I could add four more states to that list for a total of 36.

Alas, my own home state of The People's Republik of Maryland is not on that list (we are "may issue" but practically "no issue") so 99.999% of the time I'm just out of luck. But I do treasure the rare opportunities to do this when I leave the state.

Anyway, good news for us all!
