50 states with completely different laws that constantly evolve. No way.
The class should simply say, "Look up the current laws regarding the state(s) that you plan on visiting prior to your trip".

It's not expected that the Texas CHL instructor teach the laws of other states; what's expected is they teach, or at least provide a list of, what states Texas has reciprocity with and THEN tell them 'Before you take your gun into another state make sure to read and understand that state's laws on possession and concealed carry.'

Not at least covering what reciprocity is and who we have it with is unacceptable for an instructor IMO.

Of course, it could be argued that she should have been responsible for learning the laws herself, but how many Texans do you think would do that if there was no class requirement?

They didn't cover New Jersey or other state laws in my Texas class. Did I have a bad instructor?

They should have at least covered reciprocity and told you or gave you a list of what states honor the Texas CHL. If not, then I would say yes you did.

A new CHL holder from Pennsylvania was arrested for crossing into New Jersey with her gun in the car. She stated she was unaware of the laws. This is why I say that a CHL class is critical and they need to be properly covered on the laws and reciprocity.
