Texas' CHL couse is by far superior to the 3 hour class that is given in this state and Texas will honor thier lisence, but they sill not honor ours. I am truly frustrated about this, but since I am not tranferring my home of residence to WV and keeping Texas, I cannot even obtain thier CHL...they do have an open carry law, but once again, it only applies to residents( Which by accounts of the law here) I am not! Ughh!
This is right off the wv reciprication website:
" On the flip side of the coin, the are many gaps and deficiencies in our licensing criteria (West Virginia) that have resulted in at least 3 states--Minnesota, New Mexico, and Texas--deeming West Virginia's licensing standards inadequate under their standards for establishing reciprocity."
why is Texas even dealing with this state at all? We should tell them not to carry here until we can carry there!
Thanks for letting me vent!
Most likely is due to the fact that Texas allows 18-20 yr olds to obtain a CHL provided they are in the military. Might want to check if you can carry with a Florida license.
