CarryReciprocity

Corrections & verification log

This site tells people whether their concealed-carry permit is recognised in another state. Getting that wrong is not an inconvenience — it is the difference between lawful carry and a felony. So when we publish something incorrect, the fix belongs in public, with what it said, what it says now, and how long it stood.

Everything in the first section was live on the site. Errors caught in review before publishing are not listed there; calling those “corrections” would flatter us and tell you nothing. Our corrections policy explains the standard, and this page is the record of it being kept.

Spotted something wrong? Email corrections@carryreciprocity.com with the page and, if you have it, the primary source that contradicts us. Corrections are verified against a primary source before we change anything.

Corrections

Published claims that were wrong. Newest first.

  1. July 20, 2026Resident-only recognitionlive for 2 days before we caught it

    State hub pages grouped honored permits in a way that could drop the condition attached to them. A state that recognises another state's permit only when the holder is a resident of the issuing state could therefore appear to honour it outright. On a site people use to decide whether they may lawfully carry across a state line, an unconditional-looking claim is the most dangerous kind of error we can publish.

    Now reads: Recognition is grouped by its full condition, so resident-only recognition is always shown as resident-only

    Source: Per-state statutory citations already held against each edge

Verification log

Checks of the data we publish, listed whether or not they found an error. A check that finds nothing is not a non-event — it is the only evidence that the checking happens at all.

  1. July 13, 2026Reciprocity counts

    Re-derived every recognition count before publication, after finding the tally conflated two different things: a state formally recognising another state's permit, and a state simply allowing permitless carry.

    Result: Counts now reflect formal recognition only. Permitless-carry states no longer inflate a recognition count, which would have overstated how portable a permit is.

  2. July 10, 2026Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Washington

    Completed the inbound recognition edges for four states where the data was silent rather than explicit.

    Result: Non-recognition is now recorded explicitly as "not honored" instead of being left absent. Silence in a dataset reads as "unknown", and on this subject unknown must never render as permitted.

  3. July 9, 2026What we accept as a source

    Hardened the data validator so a claim cannot be published against a non-government source, and specifically blocked a large commercial concealed-carry site from being cited.

    Result: The build fails rather than publishes if a jurisdiction's claim rests on anything but a primary government source. Commercial reciprocity maps are frequently out of date and are not evidence.

Reciprocity changes by statute, by attorney-general opinion and by court decision, sometimes without notice. Always confirm with the destination state's own authority before you carry there. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
