I have heard that Texas has stopped requiring us to go through the course and qualify anymore to renew, just fill out a renewal form and send it in. Has anybody else heard this?
Also Pennsylvania may reciprocate with us, but how many other states reciprocate with Pennsylvania? I know that many many states reciprocate with Texas.

I don't know Danny. I do know that the expiration period has increased to 5 years instead of 4. I'm good for 5 years. Had to re-qualify back in October of last year. So I don't know if the law has changed since then. I don't know how many reciprocate with PA. It is just mentioned as a work around for Texas CHL holders whos license may expire due to the long processing times due to the 40% increase in CHL applications. That is the real meat of this topic if you think about it. A 40% increase. Perhaps some are finally starting to understand the importance of the right to carry legally as it exists today. My hope is that they in turn will vote this November for the candidate that is least likely to diminish this right.

If you're a pollack you can get one from PA for free. I'm confused. Why would the State of Pennsylvania give a CHL to a fish? They figure it evens the odds, seeing as how fish finder technology has come so far. Here's a place to go for a CHL that I recommend highly: CHL

I guess it is time for me to get armed (legally). 4 NOV is not all that far off.
Anyone know of an organization that offers this training in the Flower Mound area?
Thanks. Trip, here are two. Both in Flower Mound area. http://www.dentoncountysports.com/http://www.mychl.com/

An interesting "work around" is suggested to avoid letting your Texas CHL expire due to the long processing times: Since Pennsylvania and Texas have a reciprocal CHL agreement, and you can get a Pennsylvania CHL, accepted here in Texas, with no training requirements. It is processed in 30 days and the cost is $26! The license is good for 5 years. Here is what is required along with the Application form from the website: A photo copy of a license to carry a firearm (concealed carry permit) from your home state if that state has a concealed carry law. A photo copy of your Driver's License. A self addressed stamped envelope. $26.00 fee for five year license and out of state processing. (Check/money order made out to Centre County Sheriff.) Here is the link to the web site where you can apply: http://www.co.centre.pa.us/211.asphttp://www.co.centre.pa.us/sheriff/license_application.aspAll anti-gun liberal weenies need not apply. Awesome! $26 versus $70 plus the cost and time of the class to get renewed.

I know that anyone would want a convenient location for taking the CHL class, but I'd like to mention that one of the instructors at this school is Ray Allen, one of the state legislators instrumental in writing the CHL law. He'll give you the straight skinny because he knows the straight skinny. Not meant as a knock on the other guys. CHL
