since it seems that I am "young, and lazy" I have just walked in the door from my full time job, stopping long enough to go to my 2nd job. 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.

When I was a younger guy I was in the Navy and made such a small amount that I couldn't "afford" a pistol. Back then there was no shall issue so a permit was out of the question. When I got promoted I bought a my first handgun (a revolver). It was $266, There are a lot of people who work hard and live on a lot less than those of us that can post on a computer internet board.

starting out with "I'm not trying to be a smart aleck here, but " sure makes it sound like you are.....but anyhow. Did you ever possibly think that I am using public access internet on a public access computer?............ increasing income would be awesome if I could say MOVE to another area, but wait, that takes money too. Forget I ever asked the question, there seem to be too many elitists here.

ah, no, we dont fall under those provisions. I have looked at the fee schedule for TX and I make about 5000 more a year than what would allow me to receive the "discounted" rate. The overall income isnt really the issue though, it's just the fact that we have more month at the end of the money rather than more money at the end of the month

So, I thought about carrying on an out of state non-res. permit until I can do some side jobs or get some OT for something to put in the kitty for safe keeping

ignorant to this terminology, please advise

(not sure this belongs here, please move if necessary)

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
