For the sake of clarity, I don't advocate a CFP instead of a CHL, and my posting record on that is very clear. I got my CFP for exactly the reason of a) having a backup license in case I lose mine, and b) having a backup license in case there is a delay in processing or some other unforeseen circumstance which causes my current CHL to expire before having the plastic for my renewed CHL in hand. I've never advocated getting a CFP instead of a CHL. That said, I do believe that the CHL is too expensive, and Texas has a lot to learn from Arizona about the 2nd Amendment.

Get a non-resident Utah CFP. Plus, it will add 4 states worth of reciprocity your CHL doesn't currently afford.
