Permitless carry — not recognized, but allowed without a permit (1)
These states do not recognize your Georgia concealed-carry permit through reciprocity. However, each of them allows permitless (constitutional) carry, so you may still carry concealed without a permit if you qualify — typically at least 21 years old and legally allowed to possess a firearm. Some states limit permitless carry to residents or attach other conditions, so verify the destination state's current rules before you carry.
