When I was in Tennessee, I took the class one week after turning 21. It definitely wasn't because I felt like I visited a lot of bad areas. I personally felt that maybe, somewhere in Nashville, some on-the-fence lawmakers were paying attention to the number of permits and thinking to themselves "this is important to people, so I'm going to stick up for them."

I'm glad I did get it though. I travelled a lot in college and was glad to have the security on long stretches of highway at night. My point being, it's a good thing to have, and you don't want to wait 60 days if you might need it for something unforseen a few weeks off.

After moving to Texas, I put the new license up there with "get utilities set up" and "find the nearest grocery store" on the move checklist.
