What if Texas decides to not honor non-resident permits? Then you'll have to do it the right way and it will cost you more money in the long run. Of coarse he didn't listen.

When their "Utah instructor" came, he gave them the option of getting a Utah or Florida license. They opted for Florida. Does anyone know if Florida is contemplating a similar bill?
Florida is pretty expensive, and ironically they don't recognize non-res licenses from other states. They also require you to shoot. I doubt the Florida option saved them much money. The fee $117.00. I had one for a few years. It came in handy when my Texas CHL expired before DPS got around to processing my renewal. Now I have an AZ that I would use.
Interesting, they didn't have to shoot!!!!
I must have been wrong about the shooting part. There was some talk of it a few years ago and I thought Florida had added it to the class requirements. I used my DD-214 (Honorable Discharge). I did, in fact, qualify with a .45 when I was in the Navy...but not everyone did.
