We all know many humans procrastinate in general, & there's tons of license holders that renew after they expire. The public would be furious if they did away with the grace period. It also makes DPS look very "anti-gun" to turn down all those renewals. I say no way they drop the grace period anytime soon. If someone on this forum had an older family member who forgot about their renewal & tried to renew 1 day after they expire & were told NO- they would be furious at DPS & probably post their anger on this forum.

I don't think the legislators 'meant' to eliminate said grace period. I think the verbage was an over-reaction on their part to some proposed laws that were never passed.

Can you imagine how mad a person would get if their CHL expired & they tried to renew 2 days after and were told No.? I don't see them doing away with the one year grace period anytime soon.
