No shoot, 4 hours only class. I have known about Texas CHL being available since it became reality in 1995. I was not actually eligible until 2000. I kept putting it off for the next 12 years. And finally I saw the ad in the paper for the Florida license. I thought, hey, why not? It's just too easy. So, I went and took the class and a month later I had the Florida license. After I got it, I got to thinking that this just doesn't feel right. What if I get pulled over by the law and display a Texas driver license and a Florida handgun license? That might raise some eyebrows. Long story short, I took the Texas class the very next month and got the Texas license a short time later.

So the lesson learned here was, if you get the Florida license so you can bypass the long and strict Texas requirements, you won't feel good about it in the long run. At least that is the way it worked for me.

And you're not exempt from the school zone thing. To be able to keep it in your vehicle on school property when picking up your kid your license must be from Texas in this case.
