Agree with your reason, and for me I would like to add Nevada into the mix.AJSully421 wrote:My example of the use of a "backup CHL" was limited to "used firearm to save life, police took gun and CHL as evidence but did not arrest, the second I get back to my truck I am legally re-armed".

I just love that if I ever have to use my weapon and the cops take my gun and my CHL that I have a backup pistol, backup holster, and backup CHL all in my truck. I'll be rearmed in seconds.
I think that may be a great idea but am wondering about the recent change to UT law that requires you to have a Texas resident CHL to have a UT. What happens then if you lose your TX CHL or have it suspended? Does that then violate the conditions of having a UT permit? If you are stopped in TX, have a TX DL and no CHL, are you then violating the UT permit conditions listed on their BCI page? Would that invalidate your UT permit, meaning you are no longer eligible?
Beyond that, nearly anything that you could do that would be bad enough to get your license suspended or revoked in Texas, and if Utah (or any other state that issued you a license) were to find out about it, they would very likely pull your license from their state too.
So... Backup CHLs: Good for using in the time between a SD shoot and getting either formally charged, or cleared by a Grand Jury, and that is about it.
But I think that there are a couple of other things that could get you suspended in TX, but not necessarily in the other state. As an example, let's say you forgot to change your address with DPS within the 30 days. That is grounds for suspension in TX, but may not be a listed ground in another state, who might not have a 30 day requirement. I agree that clearly any criminal offense and such would be grounds elsewhere, but TX does have acoupleofthings that are probably not the same in other states.
