That may be the situation for you but it depends a lot on where someone travels. For me personally, if I have to get a license from another state because the Texas CHL doesn't cover me everywhere, and that other state's license does cover me everywhere I want to travel, it makes sense to "support the movement" that supports me by getting a license with the most relevant coverage.Liberty wrote:The Texas CHL is still good for more places than any other option that we have. I also believe its important to support the movement.

Re: Why No Ohio Reciprocity?
I agree. It also makes me less likely to renew my Texas CHL. Why shouldn't I get an out of state license instead that's honored where I travel? Many of them are less of a hassle and less expensive than the Texas CHL. Why spend the time and money for a renewal class, pay $70 to DPS for a renewal, submit half a dozen finger print cards, and wait months if I don't get any real benefit? That doesn't even count the risk of being arbitrarily disarmed.Charles L.

However, I struggle with prejudicing 300,000 Texans to give special treatment to 36. And we definitely are talking about extending special treatment to people between 18 and 20 years old. Unless they have licenses from other states, there is the potential that 300,000 Texans will be unarmed and defenseless in at least three states, so roughly 36 people can have a Texas CHL between one and three years earlier. It's ironic that we grant special privileges to a class of people solely because they have volunteered for the job of protecting us, and in so doing increase the danger to the very people they have sworn to protect.
