We need better than reciprocity

Are you in TX now? We are moving just out side of Austin at the end of the month. Everything is happening very very fast and have not gotten to this yet. Both my wife and I have our CHL. We have an address already if that matters much.

Just visiting looking at houses- about ready to make another offer (first one fell thru, it was a bit low- but what we were willing/able to do without selling our current house)

from what I can tell, you don't need an address in TX to get a non-resident LTC (as of Jan 1, it's no longer called a "Concealed Handgun License" and is now a "License to Carry")
but you have to take a training course- trying to look up those requirements- I probably need to coordinate the class with one of my trips to TX- should be <60 days from the time you submit paperwork with the training certificate. The 180 days comes in to play if your paperwork isn't complete.

Yeah, let's get back to the Constitution. It has a better track record than the progressives.

I don't mean to derail, but national CCW is the least of our constitutional concerns. I am extremely worried about the Supreme Court Justice picks.

And $19 Trillion debt.

And $19 Trillion debt.

And tremendous bloat of government bureaucracy in affairs outside those established and limited in the document.

Just to further derail (sort of)... it looks to me like the way the open carry law reads in TX that went into effect Jan 1, that you still have to have a LTC permit to open carry...

"In Texas, in order to openly carry a gun, you have to have a concealed-handgun license."
Did somebody lose sight of what those words mean? (I guess that's why they changed it to an "LTC" (License to Carry))

This is some serious BS... and I'll have a field day with anyone bitching about it... "I moved here from CO, where you didn't need ANY permission from the gov't to carry openly... before that, I lived in AZ and AK, where you don't need any permission to carry open OR concealed"... remind me WTF you're bitching about?

Agree with Zund. Every time the Dem's come up with some "common sense gun laws" the R's should paste some amendments on that removes state's reciprocity, mag limitations, ammo purchase, gun types nonsense laws that does nothing to prevent gun crime. Oh and throw in a check off box for quick TSA check when I provide fingerprints, FBI background etc for NFA items.

I know I am with you about the 2nd and really should not need a licence, or limit what, and how many I want to purchase but I would love to see the Dems squirm some or just get squarely kicked in the nads just once.

The R's of today are not the R's of old. No stones these days. Sad.

The Rs of today are like the Ds of old.
