Once he becomes a resident I would expect that he obtain a TX CHL. Of course there should be a reasonable grace period so that his right to carry is not infringed. Same process as drivers licenses. We'll recognize your out of state driver's license for a period of time after becoming a resident. But you do have to get a TX license eventually.

Same process as a DL would mean no class, no hassle.

Pay $20 - $30 and walk out with a temporary license that's immediately valid.

And those who want to carry multiple CHLs for reasons of greater coverage may do so without penalty. But inside the state of Texas it would be illegal for a resident to carry without a Texas CHL.

Can someone explain this logic to me.

Suppose Joseph Smith is a Utah resident with a Utah license. He comes to Houston for a 6 month contract job for an energy company. Most of us are ok with Joe carrying in Texas.

Six months pass. The company likes him and makes a permanent offer. If he accepts and relocates to Texas, some of you now want to infringe his right to keep and bear arms unless he gets a Texas CHL.

I don't understand. What changed that makes him less qualified now than when he carried all those months under reciprocity?

Non resident permits are the only legal way to carry in Texas because of these legal problems with the state some people have.If one state will give you a permit why wouldn't your home state since they all do a back ground check? They need to come out with a permit good in all states to end all these problems
