I think the relevance is that if people "shortcut" the Texas CHL license for one issued in Utah they are not taught the Texas requirements as well as prohibited places. I feel that many of them will not do the research on their own to find out the differences in the Texas State Laws.... To each their own, everybody has their reasons for what they do....

I am sure I will get flamed for this.... If we in fact will always be required to have a CHL to carry (not getting into a 2nd Amend. discussion) then I feel that any Texas resident who is going to carry should be required to hold a Texas CHL, any other states license would be for back-up only and for other states that do not honor the Texas license. If the legislature passed a bill requiring this I would not be upset about it.

I see postings on Craigslist from somebody who pushes the Utah license as the only license that people need, I feel this to be mis-leading although technically true. My issue is that they do not go over the Texas carry laws and no shooting is required. Should one of these people get arrested for carrying in a prohibited location the first thing we will read is that a "CHL" person was arrested for ......... this will not look favorably on any of us. I keep hearing about the cost, I have a hard time believing that the cost difference is really that much of an issue to 99% of the CHL holders.......
