Readers digest version with links. Note that "duty to inform" expectations vary (e.g. in Alaska you inform when approached but in Texas you inform if asked for license or identification. Also in Texas it is only a crime to fail to inform if you are involved in a criminal act.)
Alabama – If Asked (No known duty to inform law enforcement)
Alaska – Yes (Always)
Arizona – If Asked (If Asked – Yes)
Arkansas – Yes – When Asked For Identification
California – Yes For Some Counties – If Asked Otherwise (No known duty)
Colorado – If Asked (No known duty to inform law enforcement)
Connecticut – If Asked (No known duty to inform law enforcement)
Delaware – If Asked (See *NOTES)
District of Columbia – If Asked (No known duty to inform law enforcement; in flux!)
Florida – If Asked (No known duty to inform law enforcement)
Georgia – No (Police Cannot Detain You To Verify)
Hawaii – Unknown At This Time(Essentially No-Permit State)

no its not .. @MikeM
If you are an out-of-state concealed carrier – you’re not authorized to carry concealed in the State of New York.
... update .. you cant even bring it to NY or pass thru .. you will get jammed up
there was another news on a lady passing thru NY and needed gas money .. she stoped at a FFL to sell her pistol .. the FFL called the cops .. she get the NY love up the arse ..

what does that have to do with the link posted? And you can bring it through as the link states there is a federal defense. The lady that tried to sell her gun took it out of the locked truck. I understand that having a federal defense is not the same as "being allowed" but honestly, anyone caught out of state with a handgun and no permit will have to prove that they were just passing through in many states.

MikeM is correct about the dates. The original report is dated and each state link is dated to reflect new amended updated info. USAcarry does a good job. So all duty to inform info was developed in late Aug 2015 and new dates for a State are re-dated when an amendment is published after the Aug 2015 origination. USAcarty also has links to available State webpages or statutes to simplify last minute verifications and there are some listed available State contact numbers if you have a question.
