Re: Relocating to Texas

Agree with the above.

Also want to note that although the 1000 ft "gun free school zone" issue is technically accurate, you are literally more likely to be struck by lightning. I carried here on my UT and PA licenses when I relocated here until I got my Texas CHL, and the GFSZ issue is not something I spent any energy worrying about.

First, the GFSZ is a federal crime, not state or local, so how many times do you see FBI agents making traffic stops? Second, I have been following this issue on gun forums for many years, and have yet to see any reports of an otherwise law-abiding citizen getting charged. The exceptions seem to be drug dealers already getting arrested by the DEA, and the weapons charge serves as an "add-on". The last time a previous version of this law went to court, the Supreme Court threw the law out.

Anyway, what part of Texas are you moving to?
