But they also told me that there was no agreement between PA and AZ and guess what they were wrong. This was proved by AZ DPS. And according to [http://handgunlaw.us/](http://handgunlaw.us/) _thanks Jackdup_ there are agreements between both states and PA.

It is my understanding that you can keep all your PA paperwork, and buy a gun down there, but I guess you won’t really know until you try to buy one. I am pretty sure you can buy a used handgun there, like we buy used shotguns here, no paperwork at all.

Reciprocity seems to be getting better all the time. In Alaska, all you need is a valid driver’s license to carry a concealed weapon. In VT, you need nothing at all, anyone who can legally possess the weapon can carry it concealed…now that’s my kind of state.
