The thing is, those cited disqualifications under Arizona law only involve felony charges or convictions, misdemeanor domestic violence, controlled substances, etc... pretty much the federal disqualification list. Texas as vastly more disqualifying elements, including the 5-year period after a Class A or B misdemeanor conviction of any sort. A person could lose a Texas LTC but still maintain an Arizona or a Florida license with some ease, which is what I believe NavyVet was indicating.smokejensen wrote:NavyVet. If you read each states laws carefully, you'll see similar language that would disqualify you from applying if you are charged with a crime in your state. In addition, if you currently hold out of state licenses and you are charged in your state with a disqualifying crime your out of state licenses must be surrendered within a certain amount of time. Arizona for example states:NavyVet1959 wrote: One advantage of having multiple would be if something happened and you had to surrender your Texas one until it was cleared up. You would still have your out-of-state CHL.

B. The permit of a person who is arrested or indicted for an offense that would make the person unqualified under section 13-3101, subsection A, paragraph 7 or this section shall be immediately suspended and seized. The permit of a person who becomes unqualified on conviction of that offense shall be revoked. The permit shall be restored on presentation of documentation from the court if the permittee is found not guilty or the charges are dismissed. The permit shall be restored on presentation of documentation from the county attorney that the charges against the permittee were dropped or dismissed.
I mean, failure to report a diseased hive of bees is a Class B misdemeanor under the Agriculture Code, and no amount of argument can convince me of the validity of saying someone can't have a license to carry for half a decade because he ignored some sick bees, no matter how much the EPA jumps up and down and says it's for the children. I don't begrudge someone finding a way to avoid such a ridiculous outcome with an out of state LTC, whether someone who doesn't like it calls it a "loophole" or not.
