An in-state resident license in will cover you for carrying within 1000 ft of a school. The non-resident out of state license will not.JALLEN wrote:Is there a difference between a resident permit and a non-resident, more than just the address shown on the card?
I have had a Florida permit for many years. It is fairly simple to get and not costly. I imagine, but do not know, that if you sent in a change of address with a Florida address it would be a resident permit, and when you aren't a resident, it's a non-resident, for whatever minimal differences it makes. Some state recognize resident permits only, I suppose.
Have a look at http://www.handgunlaw.us/LicMaps/ccwmap.php or http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry ... _maps.html to see what the state by state laws are.

Re: Moving to another state?
I'm not absolutely certain, but I think you can convert your CHL to non-resident when you get to Florida. But you'll still want to get the FL permit because you'll have greater protections for things like school zones, etc. Keep the CHL, and you can probably just convert it back to "resident" if you move back to Texas.
