I am the training director at a gun range, and we see 40+ CHL students a week.

That just brought something else to my mind. I see a number somewhere in the 240,000 range for CHLs in Texas. But going off of the mumbers i see around the state for students, it seems that number should be much higher.

Have you seen any numbers you consider to be accurate? tia..

I think the changes to the traveling law, will affect renewals some, also.
If they think that they woud be covered by the traveling law, there may not be a renewal.

I took the newbie CHL course in June 05. Just days before i took the course, it was news that the law was going to be changed on Sept 1 for "traveling", and length of licensure.
The way the traveling law was being reported in the news, it seemed almost as if a CHL wouldn't even be necessary in order to car carry. It had me wondering for some time if I should even bother sending in the paperwork.

There maybe quite a few existing license holders out there that are thinking the "car carry" will have them covered. It might, but probably not, especially with the threatening noises coming from district attorneys in the news, that say they are going to ignore the new writing of the law.

Maybe some of our instructors here, can help on the "traveling" vs "carrying" issue. I'm not sure it has been explained very well.
