Re: Bill to eliminate Texas reciprocity

That sounds reasonable. If Texas accepts a Florida concealed weapon license, we're in effect saying Florida's licensing standards are sufficient. If a Florida resident goes to Rice, and Texas accepts their Florida license while they're a student, it's absurd for Texas to suddenly deny reciprocity the day they graduate if they get in job in Houston but not if they get a job in Miami.

On the other hand, if the Florida license doesn't meet Texas standards because of insufficient training, or lax background checks, it's irresponsible for Texas to allow reciprocity for the Florida license in general, no matter where they officially live, or how short their stay in Texas.
