I have to put in a plug for Florida as well. You go online, request an application, fill it out (it's two pages), get printed, send money and a Xerox of your Texas TR-100, and in no time at all you will have a five year license to carry. I got it in 11 days. I've seen even shorter wait times. Worst case scenario wait time is a month -- I remember reading that Utah was taking 6-7x that long to crank 'em out. Unless you enjoy sitting through another training class (and spending the money, travel time, etc.) I think the Florida license is the way to go. If you need coverage in one of the Utah-covered states that Florida doesn't also cover, then by all means go that route, but if the states you frequent honor Florida's license I just don't see the point. Too much hassle compared to Florida.kdom wrote:Heard that OH is hung up on TX letting current military under 21 get a CHL...don't know if this is a or the stopping point, just something I read somewhere....
I got a FL non-resident permit just to cover me when we head to OH for the holidays. Very painless application process (no class required), except on the wallet, and less than 30 days door to door...
Florida's CWP operation is a well-oiled machine that I wish other states would follow. They really have a great licensing unit in place. If all you need is Ohio, don't overlook the sunshine state.
