Even though it may be a loophole you cannot blame people who don't want to pay the huge fees, take a full day of class, qualify, wait for months to get a Texas CHL. Some states you walk into DPS get a picture, fingerprints, and a quick background check and walk out with a permit.

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.

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.

I don't believe we should have to get a permit in order to CC, other states who have constitutional carry (Arizona) have lower crime rates then Texas. While I agree that training is a great thing, it should not be mandatory, it should be highly recommended though.

If I have to get a permit to exercise a God given right as a American then its no longer a right its a privilege.

You don't have to have a permit to carry a CCW in your vehicle under the Motorist Protection Act, how many road rage shootouts have you heard about since the law was put into effect in 2009?
