Isn't that what a Texas CHL does?
Not really. In Texas you can buy and own a gun and have it in your home or carry it in your car without a “FOID”.

Dumb question

Why does the NRA not go after cities and states that require a person to apply for a Firearms Owner Identification (FOID) card?

This amounts to, requiring permission from the government to exercise a constitutional right. It also allows the city or state to maintain a list of citizens that own firearms. In some cases even the types of guns owned.

I think I read that a lawsuit has been filed against DC over all their requirements but has the need for a FOID been abolished anywhere yet?
