Florida does it because they want people to get the Florida nonresident license instead of a different state's nonresident license. It was about the money. To their credit, the Florida legislators didn't spin lies to try to hide the fact that it was about the money. From what I remember, they were up front about the intention being to get a larger market share of the nonresident license business. They also support that goal with their training requirements and fee structure, making the Florida license attractive even to gun owners who don't plan to visit Florida.Keith B wrote:Bottom line, the reciprocity with other states and the fact that you can carry on a non-resident license is getting a lot of attention, including at state levels in Austin. If this gets too hot, I wouldn't be surprised to see Texas and other states start moving to the not allowing carry on a non-resident license. Some states, like Colorado, Florida and a couple of others, have already gone to that model.

Re: Utah CHL Instructor Story on WFAA
It helps keep the test honest. For example, when I took the class at Top Gun, the instructor told us "the answer to question 15 is B" or whatever the actual question number and answer was. I'm sure none of the instructors on the board do anything like that, but it's not unusual to hear similar stories when I talk to other people who took one day CHL classes.Charles L. Cotton wrote:Why?

Re: Utah CHL Instructor Story on WFAA
I heard they do CHL instructor renewal exams online. Maybe something like that.

It looks like he's been running for that seat for a long time.

You said a mouthful.
The counter argument is equal protection. Texas should accept Utah licenses or not accept Utah licenses. If John is not not allowed to get a out of state license in lieu of a Texas CHL to carry in Texas, then Mike should not be allowed to get a out of state license in lieu of a Texas CHL to carry in Texas. Discrimination based on John's and Mike's religion or state of residence is bigoted and reprehensible.baldeagle wrote:The argument is that they should not be allowed to get a out of state license in lieu of a Texas CHL.
