Re: Eligibility Q.

rockriver, its too late for your attorney to do anything. You have to wait 5 years after a class B (or higher) misdemeanor arrest or deferred adjudication probation or conviction before you can qualify for a TX CHL. I'd recommend you look at AZ and/or FL for a non-resident permit (see handgunlaw.com...

(a) A person may not participate in any manner in: (1) a race; (2) a vehicle speed competition or contest; (3) a drag race or acceleration contest; (4...

Re: 'Loophole' in CHL law??

Re: CCW OWB Holster
