Welcome to the forum Slowrain, and eventually back to Texas!Slowrain wrote:Just registered for this board. Currently I live in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and have a Georgia Firearms License (similar to your CHL however here open carry is allowed). I will be starting a new job in a week and am told I will probably be relocated to the DFW area within a year. No problem with that as I lived in Austin for 7 years and actually am looking forward to going back to Texas.
Background includes 11 years as an LEO in the Pacific Northwest as well as 5 years in the military. I have since gone on to the "corporate world" however still am a advocate for 2nd Amendment rights. Hoping to start to become familiar with the Texas laws around carrying concealed, and am aware that Texas requires a training class before application (Georgia does not) as well as residency for 6 months before you can apply. Looking forward to learned and hopefully soon being back in Texas!
If Georgia allows you to convert your GFL to a non-resident concealed permit, then you should be able to carry here until such time as you can get a Texas CHL.
Enjoy the forum; there is a lot of good information and a ton of great folks here!!
