I did not say that. That's not even on the same planet to what I said. If they have a license in their home state, why would it make any difference at all if they had a license from every state they could get one in?
We were discussing Texas residents, and Texas licenses. I occasionally take out of state customers hunting. Some of them have CHL licenses from their home state, and carry legally in Texas. There's no problem with that. They don't use a Texas license to skirt the requirements of their home states minimum standard. I don't give a flip about what any person who is a Utah resident does, has or wants. That's Utah's business, not ours.

It was a question. And you answered it. Thank you. So you have no problem with the fact Utah is a 4 hour class and no shooting. So you also have no problem with a Utah resident carrying in Texas under the same permit/class. Correct?

Exactly, Lon Burnam is playing those some CHL instructors like a puppet for his anti gun agenda. Even if the bill fades away, he has still successfully caused friction and split some in the CHL community when we should be rallied together. Very sad IMHO. One might call him a legistative troll.

Presenting anti constitutional firearm related agenda here, would be no different that presenting it to your class IMO.
Anyone that takes the time to look at the history of the man behind this bill could easily see the agenda behind the bill. There is good reason that the Texas Rifle Association and the Texas Firearms Coalition are openly against it. I have done my research and came to the conclusion that If you support it, you are either the enemy or you are drinking the man's juice and being fooled. It is possible with some instructors that support this bill, it is a business move to them and they truly have no concern for our "right". It is along similar lines of an 03 FFL that refuses to recognise an 03 collectors FFL or that support the so called "gun show loophole" simply because he believes allowing such direct transfers to individuals hurts his business. I would love to see someone put together a published list of the state instructors that are openly supporting HB356 as well as those secretly playing both sides with the phone calls.

I agree. This bill needs to now die in committee. To support anything gun related from Lon Burnam is foolish.
