Moving out of state. Considerations for my CO CCW?

[ClangClang]

Work is transferring me to our Maryland office. Blegh. Unfortunately, I've decided that the career opportunities outweigh all the negatives. It will be for a ~2 year long project. I plan on moving back to CO once this project is over.

Once I transfer my DL to MD, what do I do with my CO CCW? I'm assuming it becomes invalid? Just cut it up? Once my residency is transferred, I certainly can't legally carry here when I come back in winter to ski.

Do I need to notify my county sheriff or anything?

Probably just mail it back to the county after you've moved. ?

Nothing. Once you relocate and switch ID / DL CO state issued permit becomes invalid. Sending it back to the sheriff's dept is a waste of a stamp, your time and the dept's personal.

You might be able to use it to verify current requirements for a Md permit. It's a may issue state, hopefully a CO permit might sway the powers that be to issue you one.

Depending on what part of Maryland you will be working in, you could easily live in Pennsylvania or Virginia. If you are in Frederick or any part of western MD, West Virginia may be worth looking at as they just passed Constitutional Carry about a year ago.

Unfortunately if you are working in the central part of the state between Baltimore and DC, you will be in traffic pretty much anywhere you are going.

Good luck.

Yeah, I wish I could have lived in VA, but it's not possible. Will be working in Annapolis. The morning commute would be suicide.

But just as I surmised, the permit simply becomes invalid the day I switch my license. Thanks for confirming. Feel free to resume making fun of me and the imminent loss of my freedoms :)

Any way the job could be considered temporary, allowing you to maintain CO residency? Not that it would do any good for carry in MD, but might allow you to maintain your sanity.

Well... ok, if you wish:

Even if you already know how to sail, I can highly recommend the Annapolis Sailing School http://www.annapolissailing.com

Enjoy the Bay. It is a beautiful area but just like most great places to live, the progressive politicians completely ruin any chance of remaining in nice places. Parts of the Eastern Shore are almost sane and if you enjoy history at all, you will be within four hours of almost every major battlefield of the Revolutionary and Civil War. Also while living there you can take your time and enjoy all of the various museums in DC and Baltimore over an extended period rather than try to cram them in over just one week like so many tourists. Plenty to do right in Annapolis as well. And when you are done, Colorado will still be here, with a few more hippies of course, but it will still be here. [Coffee]

So if you're only going to be gone for a couple of years, if you come back to CO and your old permit hasn't expired yet can you just treat it as though you moved from your old CO location to your new CO location and you'll still have your CO CHL?

Change of address.

If the OP plans on coming, there's no reason to give up the permit. Providing it doesn't expire before then, since they're a 5 yr permit..

Now............If the OP has 30-60 days before relocating. If it were me, i'd renew the permit now.

Will be working in Annapolis.
