I wasn't going to jump into this, but I feel that I must.

As a Utah instructor in Texas, I feel it is my DUTY to instruct Utah students in Texas CHL law. Anything less is a disservice to the students. If I only tell them about restrictions that apply to Utah, how does that help them in Texas? I don't know how other instructors teach their classes, other than what I have heard.

I do know that there is one instructor in the area who is advertising his classes as this:

Save your valuable time and earn your Concealed Handgun License in only 5 hours and your license will be valid in 30 states including Texas. No written test, no range qualification and no renewal classes are ever required. Very limited seating and pre-registration is required by calling CHL Instructor...

No mention anywhere that this is a Utah class. He is NOT a Texas CHL instructor, and I have a problem with him representing his class as a Texas class.

To answer a previous question, you are not required to have a Texas CHL for the non-resident Utah CFP to be valid. However, there are a growing number of states that will not recognize the non-resident permit - Colorado, Florida, New Mexico right of the top of my head.

The Utah thing is a problem. But only because irresponsible instructors have made it a problem. Like Charles, I have considered not teaching the class any more because of this. Or, at the least, not offering the Utah CFP without a Texas CHL.

Here is a link to the out of state Utah instructors:
