In my story Saturday on Arizona's new concealed-carry law, I mentioned that more than 30 states recognize Arizona's concealed carry permits. Some of the states have written agreements with Arizona, while more of them simply recognize our state's permit as valid in their state without written agreements.
Here's the state's chart showing the states in each category, including those that don't recognize Arizona's permit. The most prominent state on that list is California.
Here are the lists, in case you don't want to waste a click on the link:
