Mailed! Should have it sometime next week I guess! Background check: Complete CHL: Manufacturing Pending That was pretty quick - background check took only one week! :clapping: Recently moved to Texas from Virginia, have had VA Concealed Handgun Permit since summer 2007 and been carrying ever since....

Same Here.... I bought and moved into a house 6 years ago. Before that, a bunch of moves, but overall very stable for the last 11 years (all in same county/town) I will check again at the end of the work day today but I am not getting my hopes up yet. :grumble I highly doubt this matters. I just mo...

Thanks - this is a very helpful reference.

A lot of new things to consider. Texas has a reputation of such a super pro gun state but honestly carry laws in VA are a bit more relaxed and permissive (putting on my helmet and ducking down waiting for stones flying my way :lol: ). One thing that makes things a lot easier in VA is Constitutional ...

Agree with the above. Also want to note that although the 1000 ft "gun free school zone" issue is technically accurate, you are literally more likely to be struck by lightning. I carried here on my UT and PA licenses when I relocated here until I got my Texas CHL, and the GFSZ issue is no...

Welcome to Texas! :txflag: Texas no longer makes you reside here for a period of time before being able to get a resident TX CHL. I would get a TX Drivers License first and then apply for the CHL as a resident. You can carry under your Virginia license but that does not exempt you from the rule to ...

Nice that two "foreigners" get it right on the first try . (Welcome home JAllen) . Welcome to Texas. Your VA license is welcome here until it expires, unless you have to surrender it when you leave VA. Thanks! So there is no issue with having a resident permit from another state while I b...

I am doing this right now. I completed the CHL class last Friday. Your VA permit is valid if it is recognized in Texas anyway. The only worry is the Federal rules around schools. The permit has to be issued by that state to get around that one. I carried all last week with permits from Utah and Flo...

I’ll be relocating from Virginia to Texas this summer and I’d like to obtain a Texas Concealed Handgun License. I currently hold a Virginia (resident) Concealed Handgun Permit which I’ve had since 2007 and I know it’s valid in Texas under a reciprocity agreement. I’d like to understand what would be...
