Where do I look to find out what states I can travel to with a conceal carry permit?

Question

I have a Pennsylvania conceal carry permit. I was wondering where to look to find out what other states I can pass through or be in and carry legally. I don't think I can in New Jersey, but I was also wondering about Delaware.

I don't get why people say don't carry if your not the law. In my state it's a right to carry as along as I have the permit so I do. On top of that I am receiving my lethal weapons certification so I can carry for work.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'll choose best answer when the minimum time is up.
