It looks to me like the Amendment would force states that currently have some type of CHL process, but do not recognize Texas CHLs, to recognize Texas CHLs. So a state like Illinois that doesn't allow carry, would not be forced to recognize a Texas CHL. I think every other state has a process in place, either for residents only, residents / nonresidents, or may issue vs. shall issue, depending on the state.

States like Washington, Nevada, Oregon, etc. that do have a carry process / licensing, would have to recognize a Texas CHL as valid. The way I read it, even states that have a may issue and a very difficult to obtain a permit, such as California or some states in the Northeast (New York, New Jersey, etc. ) would also have to recognize out of state CHLs, since they have a process for concealed carry of some type in their state.

The Amendment has the backing of the NRA, Gun Owners of America and the NSSF....
