All this talk about relocating has me thinking that instead of just CHL reciprocity, we need transferability.

When we moved here from Kansas, we took our drivers licenses down to the DMV and they issued us CO DLs, no muss, no fuss, no test, no waiting. In the few weeks from the time we moved to the time we got our new CO licenses our old KS ones were still perfectly legal for us to drive on.

But if you move from one state to another, the instant you move your old CHL is no longer any good and you can't get a new one for 60-90 days (and often have to retake the CCW class in the new state).

So you're effectively disarming law abiding new residents during the time they're the most vulnerable (they're driving cars with out of state plates, which attracts criminals and you don't know where the bad parts of town are ... for chrissake we lived our first 3 months here in an apartment at South Circle and Monterrey).

If I move to someplace else, I should be able to walk into the local Sheriff's office with my El Paso County Colorado CHL and hand it to the lady behind the counter and she'll give me a shiny new CHL for wherever I've moved to, just like the DMV will do with my drivers license.
