Well I got the VA non-res CHP just recently. I travel to Northern Virginia a lot for work, but most of the time I'm also in DC and MD, so it's not really practical to carry. I mostly got it because it's on the list of ones I "can" get. I've had PA & FL in the past and may get them again when I can afford it. Right now I have TX, AZ, CT, NH, & VA. I'd like to add PA, FL, NV, MA, & DC (if court decisions go the right way).

The VA non-res is pretty lame looking. It is a card with the passport photo I sent them laminated in the back. I had a ME one once that looked just as junky. It appears to be hand signed though...like my old PA one from Centre County.

Believe it or not the non-resident permit actually looks a whole lot better than the resident permit which looks like something you just put together on your 'puter!

Blanking out your weight?

So, how much do you spend on an annual basis, getting all the wallpaper? And, is it just a collector's hobby, or do you actually use all of them?

Since I don't travel that much anymore, I'm fat, dumb and happy with the Texas LTC since it covers me where I'm most likely to ever travel (Texas and bordering states plus Arizona).

I got my VA non-resident because it was a lot cheaper than TX. Since then TX has reduced fees but still cheaper.

My weight is a national secret!! Still less than a few years ago, but not as trim as I'd like to be! I'm not sure if I've ever used my non-res CHL's except maybe Florida in 2002 for 15 days when my CHL expired before I got the replacement.

Most of them aren't that expensive (on a yearly basis), way less than my NFA stuff even 10 years after I got my last machinegun. I travel a lot for business, but it tends to be to places where I can't carry... CA, MD, DC... I was in Utah on vaca over Thanksgiving, but didn't carry. I need to get Utah.
