(and yes, since i got my Texas LTC I carry every day since. Mostly concealed, sometimes open carry. But it sure is nice!)
Good luck all.

Is the Arizona permit just a stopgap that people are doing because the Texas LTC can take a while or is there an advantage of having both?

The real benefit is in reciprocity which states that Texas doesn't get along with apparently such as Nevada so if you want to go to Las Vegas you can't carry there. But that will depend on the 50 state reciprocity agreement people have been talking about 2. It's also a backup to the other license which is my primary Texas license which I feel is good to have just in case and shows you've been checked out twice over for the right to carry a concealed handgun

After I re-submitted a copy of my TX LTC with the application on the 14th of February I received my Arizona permit in 3 weeks exactly. Pretty amazing speed.

What a ride. Now waiting for my Arizona permit won't be as painful!

I resent my Arizina packet back in with a copy of my Texas LTC, they requested it as proof of firearms training.

Thanks! I am out running around town to different stores that arent 30.06 or 07, and taking a few pics of my first open carry. Nobody has been weird, or scared. Except one guy thought i was an officer. Lol. I said no, i just got my license. What a strange feeling though. Open carry is a heavy responsibility. I think i will prefer concealed carry going forward.
Chris

Good stuff bro. I would rather have the element of surprise with concealed carry, always have. I feel like I would have a big target on my back if I open carry. I might do it once tho haha.

Status changed this morning at 0700 to MAILED!!!!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Awesome deal, congrats.
Wally walk for you too this weekend lol.

as of right now, there is no update on the dps status website, but I will be looking for something to pop up this week. I am as excited as the rest of you, and hope they continue pushing these applications through in a reasonable amount of time!

Your info should be going into review this week. Mine took 2 weeks before it went into review after submitting it.

My status went into review 12/6 (submitted 11/22) and was in review until 2/3 after I submitted supporting documents for a misdemeanor in 1995. A week later 2/9 my status is mailed. Awaiting delivery.

I really just stop carrying about every getting the Texas LTC ... I guess I just gave the great state of Texas $140 for nothing other then a headache on my end....

I was saying the same thing not too long ago until my status change to print pending after I submitted supporting documents for a misdemeanor charge in 1995. I sent my Arizona packet off and it was returned because my Texas license to carry class was not conducted by an NRA certified instructor. What is nice is they returned my check and the fingerprint cards. I'm not really sure how to proceed if that is the requirement. My license to carry instructor his certified in police and military instruction. Please let me know how that goes for you. Right now I'm on day 4 of print pending here in Texas so I am hoping it doesn't take much longer before they mail it. Good luck!
