TAM,
Funny you should mention New Mexico.
That is where my Dad lives and I have never carried there due to their laws.

Their laws are very confusing.
Their restaurant and tribal land laws are especially confusing.

Thanks

I am curious how many TX CHL holders carry in other states due to reciprocity.

I traveled to a city up in the Northeast this week and did not take my weapon. I really wish I had.
There were 24 shootings in this city the weekend I was there (per the local news). I was approached over 10 times in a 5 day period by people asking for money or a cigarette. (yes, I know I should quit smoking) Two of which were pushy to the point of making me very uncomfortable.

I consider myself a fine, upstanding, law abidding citizen.

I have done a TON of research on TX law to make SURE that I am always carrying legally. Many thanks to this forum!

In TX we make it pretty clear. 51% or 30.06.
Other states, not so clear.

Can you carry in a restaraunt that serves alcohol? etc...

All the searches I have done on Google pull up legal language for other states that would take weeks to figure out. IANAL.

Because of this, I have never carried in another state. I am paranoid about breaking one of their laws that I am not familiar with.

So, have you carried in another state? Did you research the heck out of their laws before carrying there? Have you found a site that clearly explains other states laws without all the legal language?

I may have to go back this city and I really dont want to spend weeks studying their laws for the 3-5 days I may be there. But, I will NEVER go back without carrying.

Thanks

(I didnt name the city as to not offend anyone but it is in a reciprocity state)
