I acknowledge the fact that this isn't ideal, and I could face problems from any LEO unfamiliar with CHL law ( a very likely possibility unfortunately). I did take a Tx CHL course for the sake of educating myself, and I feel any risk is outweighed by the benefit of being able to protect my life and the lives of my family. I will definitely obtain my Tx CHL once I'm eligible, and I would recommend anybody who qualifies do so regardless of added cost/hassle...
Your exact scenario would provide ammunition to legislators that want to restrict Texas residents to require a Texas license. It could ultimately result in you losing the ability to carry in Texas under your out-of-state license.
Please do not publicize your situation.
This is a perfect example of the kind of misguided ignorance the media is trying to encourage. Please don't suggest I give up my right to bear arms, or my right to free speech just because it makes you uncomfortable. I'm carrying in a manner that is 100% legal, and I encourage any law abiding Tx resident to do so; even if it requires getting a permit from another state...
Misguided ignorance?? I assure you, I understand the situation and the political realities quite thoroughly.
I never said give up your right to bear arms. I asked you to not publicize your situation as we are going into a legislative session where this very issue is going to be on the agenda and publicizing it can be misused and misconstrued by the opponents of liberty. Sure, you can huff about your "right to free speech" if it makes you happy, but just because you have the "right" doesn't mean it is a politically smart thing to do.
Misguided ignorance?? Pot, meet kettle.
Appears to me like you are a little oversensitive about your record.
