Good points, WPoorman. Thanks.

My friend has no plans of carrying outside Texas though. The New Hampshire one won't work since she doesn't have a TX CHL.

Here's the article about Utah CHLs going to out of state folks...

http://kutv.com/topstories/local_story_204193608.html

Six of every 10 concealed weapons permits issued in Utah this year have gone to out-of-state applicants

Utah's permit is honored by 30 other states and has the highest acceptance rate of any state, which may be the reason so many nonresidents apply.

Add that to the permit's five-year duration, low fee, ease of renewal and modest level of training, and it's no surprise that gun rights activists call it ``the most valuable permit in the nation.''

The application requires a gun-safety class, fingerprinting, a criminal background check and payment of a $59 fee. Applicant's don't have to be residents, or even set foot in the state. Utah also has licensed instructors in 42 other states and Canada who routinely train people to obtain a state permit.

Whoa! You're way north of Fort Worth now. Not a bad drive considering Cabela's and Cheaper Than Dirt are in north Fort Worth. I don't mind going up that way because I make stops at these places to browse. I haven't been back to that other range where you used to teach. I don't like lead and concrete bits flying back at me when I shoot.

Anyway, I have a friend who is considering getting a CHL. She's a bit hesitant due to the costs invloved in a Texas CHL. So I suggested a Utah CHL but she's concerned about any disadvantages or issues of having an out of state CHL and if those issues are worth the savings. She wants a CHL, just undecided on which one to get. Hence, this thread.

You might want to PM him, he was going to let some of us know when he was ready to hold classes; I know I want my Utah permit so that I can carry in Washington State (I go there for business a lot)

That would be "her" and "she".

Are there any issues to be concerned with? Any got'chas? It seems like a cheaper license that's easier to get is just too good to be true.
