What a strange coincidence. I wouldn't want to go to any of the second group, anyway.
Be careful w/ New Mexico. The CCW does not "work" on tribal lands, of which there are many that the major highways pass through.
http://www.handgunlaw.us/ has a downloadable PDF for every state and all the reciprocal agreements. I download the latest copies of each state I'm traveling through and put them on my space phone for reference.

I know nothing of the other states mentioned, but when in Kansas BEWARE of the "Gun Busters" signs. It is a criminal offense (misdemeanor ) if caught violating a posted establishment.
There is even a state statute describing required size, color! symbol and wording.
If you don't have a CCW permit and you have a firearm in your vehicle for protection,it must be in plain site.
I got my CCW one other person were going with does to but doubt she will carry. So it will always be on my person

Study up on the carry laws in those states, NM in particular has some (to us) pretty odd restrictions on where you can carry...
www.usacarry.com
FWIW there's an app for that. Checkout CCW in the iTunes App store. Only costs $2 and gives you the laws in all 50 states, tells you which are the 33 states that honor the CO permit, etc.

why pay for something you can C&P off the board?

I just got pulled over by NM Tooper near Clayton. Gave him my licence and my CCW permit. Got a warning.
Hooray for reciprocity!

I"m heading down to NM next week on business. Just double-checking my online research -- since they observe reciprocity, it looks like the only thing I have to worry about is that "No Firearms/Weapons/Handguns" signs down there carry the force of law so I'm best advised to leave it in the vehicle if I have to stop at a place with that kind of sign. Anyone know of any other quirks down there that I missed?

Perhaps I missed it, but is there a definitive guide to carrying / transporting on reservations?

Nope, each nation gets to make its own rules. There are agreements that allow for one to carry while passing through tribal lands. Basically you can carry while traveling county, state and fed roads when crossing, but you'd be pushing fate if you stopped and or got out. Carry on tribal lands is usually reserved for special people approved by the tribal council. My basic rule for the rest is as follows. If I'm carrying, I pass through, making sure I'm doing the speed limit. If I do have to stop for gas or the convenience store, I'll pull my piece and leave it locked in the car. If I'm staying for a bit on the rez, then my stuff gets locked in the trunk.

I use the Colorado concealed carry reciprocity list as my handy vacation planning guide. It gives me a list of states to visit and spend money and states that won't get a dime. Seriously!

I have looked and researched. It appears I am ok flying down to Orlando, FL with my ccw Hellcat, and carrying. Did I miss anything or should I be aware of any benign laws?
I know NM it has to be a minimum of .25 cal, which I did not know until an officer politely mentioned it (many years ago).
My personal opinion is that you never go to "second party" sites like USA Carry, Law Shield, etc. Go to the horse's mouth, e.g. the .gov page FOR THE STATE YOU'RE TRAVELLING TO (not Colorado's page) and look it up.
AND THEN CARRY A COPY OF THE PAGE WITH YOU!
Problem is, gun laws change so frequently, unfortunately, that if you're looking at stale information on a second party site, it won't work for your defense.
If you have dated information from the state's site, you have a fighting chance in court.
For example, the original question about New Mexico, the information is here: https://www.dps.nm.gov/law-enforcement-records-bureau/concealed-carry-licenses/
For the latest question about Florida, the information is here: https://www.fdacs.gov/Consumer-Resources/Concealed-Weapon-License/Concealed-Weapon-License-Reciprocity
Also keep in mind that reciprocity is only the tip of the iceberg. You need to know all the local laws about carrying, too (like victim disarmament zones, for example).

Correct .
We also have No Duty to Retreat.
Title 13. Criminal Code ? 13-405.
B. A person has no duty to retreat before threatening or using deadly physical force pursuant to this section if the person is in a place where the person may legally be and is not engaged in an unlawful act.
What's considered brandishing in CO and other states, is not in AZ. It's called
Defensive display of a firearm 13-421
The defensive display of a firearm by a person against another is justified when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect against the use or attempted use of unlawful physical force or deadly physical force.
This includes:
Verbally informing another person that the person possesses or has available a firearm;
Exposing or displaying a firearm in a manner that a reasonable person would understand was meant to protect the person;
Placing a hand on a firearm while the firearm is contained in a pocket, purse or other means of containment or transport.

I have read through FL state website, most appears to be the same in CO. No .gov buildings, churches, schools, alcohol est. We are not planning on being in any of those, so I believe I should be good. I have also looked at a few other websites and all seem to be saying the same things.
Being a crotchety old hermit, staying home and away from other people - seems to work fine for me. Especially with the cost of gas these days.

This is the coolest statute ever.

It is. However i cannot carry on state college campus. BUT i'll take the ability to NOT be arrested for "brandishing", over ccw on college campus, since i no longer work at one.

I know this is a BUMP, but I didn't want to
South Carolina -- a state full of rednecks and good ol' boys -- baffles me. Does anyone have specific information on why they don't honor the Colorado CCW?
Might just be their way of giving the finger to Calordans and all. You know, good ol'boys.

Yea, even with my UT non res, they don't allow. They don't even reciprocate with UT resident permit.
