I go to pretty much every gun show in the Dallas area, always looking for that elusive piece I can’t live without. I've stopped and talked to the Utah and the Florida instructors a couple of times. Every time I have they get an attitude to the point of belligerent and aggressive when I ask about a couple things that have concerned me with the out of state licenses. Now keep in mind that I do not have an out of state license, only a Texas CHL so I don’t know what is taught in the class and what is not. My questions are typically the following:

1.) Doesn’t it bother you that you're giving a license to carry to someone that you don’t even know that they can shoot?
1.a.) In that respect how does the Utah class cover the third person liability laws and civil liability here in Texas?
2.) I'm a Dad that pays child support, don’t you think it’s unfair to neglected kids that someone behind on child support can pay for a gun and out of state CHL but not pay their child support?
2.a.) Same scenario as #2 but in regards to their taxes.

Usually by this point they've started being rude and I give up. I know there are several instructors from other states here on the board and I would genuinely like to know your input on those items.

I personally believe that it should be similar to a driver’s license or car registration. You live here, if you want to carry here you need a CHL from here. You don’t get to drive around on a license or tag from another state, well you can until you get caught.

Having a license from another state after getting your home state one is great to be able to carry in more states, no problem with that. But, it shouldn't be an option to avoid responsibilities and the legal system in the home state.
