It cost me $0 to legally open and concealed carry when I lived in Alaska.The application For a CHL should only ask those questions found on the 4473 form for purchasing a firearm. In other words, anyone that can legally possess a handgun under federal law should also be allowed to legally carry it.
Bingo. Anything else is completely redundant and little more than a money grab.
I currently have non resident permits from 3 other states because of restrictions Texas has on its eligibility that other states don't have a problem with. If all the states got on the same wagon for background checks it would ease a lot of problems
How would you like it if you moved to a new state and had been carrying for years with no problems then all the sudden be told that you don't meet the requirements. Would you stop carrying or change your Texas chl to a non resident so you could still carry ?
