I was not aware of the new requirements, thanks for the update.grim-bob wrote:I may have overlooked it but AZ has recently changed their laws and are one of the easiest to get now. They will take just about any training as proof of proficiency (even hunters safety given that shooting was involved). It is no longer required to take the class in AZ or to take a "CHL" class at all. Basically you fill out a one page form that is similar to the 4473 in questions and submit your fingerprints. No photo required either.... $60 out the door
It will be moot if the resident license requirement passes but if not it doesn't get much cheaper than that.

I have not "left the building" and I am not "whining" about anything. I simply asked a question and got reamed for asking it. As far as range time, dont have to pay for it, my grandfather has a lease that I can shoot on, and ammo that I can shoot, thats a moot point. As far as not meeting TX requirements, doubtful, no arrests, no child support payments(my wife and my children live with me) there is nothing but the dollar amount keeping me from carrying. Thanks for theses "job offers" but as stated above, I already have 2 and possibly a 3rd if I choose to take it. oh, and I never said that I WAS using public internet, just that I could be.........Thank you all for your time. This is farewell.
This is the internet no need to get all bent out of shape because you and another member butted heads.
No one ever said you had to dish out the $240 all at once. Look at my sig line, I did the online application 7 months before I took the class. Just so you know you have 1-2 years to complete the whole process. Online app is good for 1 year, CHL 100 form is good for 2 years.
So pay for the CHL, then later take the class, and when you get some extra dough get your prints, or any order, do what works for you.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Re: At a cross-roads
If you can't afford the Texas CHL, your not going to be able to afford the Arizona CCW. You have to take the AZ class in AZ. Don't know where you are located but even if you are in El Paso, thats at least a drive to Tucson for a class. So add in drive,food,gas and possibly lodging and your already passing what it would cost you to just take the Texas CHL.ZeeMan wrote:(not sure this belongs here, please move if necessary)
I'm just going to address your question.
Ok, so, I am financially unable to obtain my TX CHL at this time, I was just going through the AZ requirements and was curious as to if this would be a viable alternative until I can afford the TX class and license fees. Please advise and give you opinions
Arizona CCW= $60 + class $80-$100 + expenses(if your close and cheap around $100) = $240 cheapest.
Texas CHL= $140 + Class $100 = $240
Like others have mentioned, if you really want it you need to prioritize.
EDIT- Just saw you are in San Angelo. Arizona CCW is not even a consideration for you.
