If a student, worker or anyone else who is living in Texas temporarily for work or school they are not establishing residency here. As long as they continue to have a residence in their original state there is no problem.
All I'm reading here is how it may inconvienece a few people who aren't Texas residents. If you are a Texas resident please explain why it's so evil to obtain a Texas CHL.
As previously stated I'm not a fan of neededing a CHL to carry but I am a fan of my neighbor having to follow the same rules I do. Too follow the rules he must know the rules and the best way for him to know them in the instance is carrying the same license I do.
With that said, those who claim you can just turn in your out of state drivers license for a Texas license, you must still pass a test to show basic Texas motorist rules. Why should we not require the same for a CHL?

My intent was to point out if this state is your residence so that you carry here regularly, then it is reasonable for you to know the laws. Otherwise, as others have said, you are just doing an endrun around the intent our state has for how it wants CHL's educated.nightmare69 wrote:Since Texas has reciprocity with 35 other states should we have to take a class over their state laws if we want to carry in their state? Its up to the person to educate their self on the laws before carrying, it should not be mandatory to take a class.TexasGal wrote:My only concern is anyone carrying in Texas that has not had a primer on Texas laws. If you end up on the news here making a bad shoot, it reflects on Texas and the CHL program HERE on the news, not the state you are licensed under. Perhaps an out of state license holder should be required to at least attend a Texas CHL class. Take it easy on the flaming.
