This would ussally be a better order. You want to atleast know the weapon you are going to be carrying. Not knowing might get you injured or worse one day.Guardian wrote:Ok, I have decided to get my CHL. I have not done anything yet and was not sure what the complete process was.
Here is what I think is correct, please correct me if I'm wrong.
2nd - fill out application @ http://www.texasonline.state.tx.us/NASA ... elcome.jsp
3rd - take class and all that goes with it (prints, photos, etc...) then send that info in
4th - wait for permit
1st - purchase firearm
Thanks,
Kevin
Having said that I do know a couple that went though the whole deal and got their CHL's but have yet to get a pistol.
edited to add - You should also invest in a holster and wearing it around the house to get use to while waiting for the plastic. That way it wont be strange to you out in public.
