Last Saturday my wife and I attended a CHL class for my third renewal and her initial license. One of the instructors stated that we should expect to wait up to 6 months for our licenses to return due to a tremendous backlog being experience by DPS because of an increase in applicants. He also suggested that those of us who had a current Texas CHL obtain a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearm which would be good in Texas (reciprocal agreement).

Each county in Pennsylvania issues it's own LTC which is good statewide. Applicants from out of state must submit an application, copy of the resident state DL and CHL, provide two references and $25. Pennsylvania, or the sheriff of the county you make application to, will in return send you a LTC.

The question is would a Texas LEO recognize a Pennsylvania LTC from a Texas resident? I understand that we have a reciprocal agreeement. Would the situation be like a DL. If I am a Texas resident and have been so for either 30 or 60 days, cant' recall which, I am required to have a Texas DL.

I am considering the Pennsylvania LTC, but don't want to give some Pennsylvania county my money for naught?
