So all in all my reason was cost and time. I understand some will not think this is a good reason...but it is what it is. Much easier if you live near a bigger city. Plus we run two small businesses and one is vacation rental cabins and weekends are our busy time and hard to get away when your the only one here.Fingerman wrote:The intent of the bill is requiring those who have established domicile in Texas to obtain a Texas license if they choose to carry. If a student, worker or anyone else who is living in Texas temporarily for work or school they are not establishing residency here. As long as they continue to have a residence in their original state there is no problem.
All I'm reading here is how it may inconvienece a few people who aren't Texas residents. If you are a Texas resident please explain why it's so evil to obtain a Texas CHL.
As previously stated I'm not a fan of neededing a CHL to carry but I am a fan of my neighbor having to follow the same rules I do. Too follow the rules he must know the rules and the best way for him to know them in the instance is carrying the same license I do.
With that said, those who claim you can just turn in your out of state drivers license for a Texas license, you must still pass a test to show basic Texas motorist rules. Why should we not require the same for a CHL?
