LTC in Another State

#1

Post by omegaman »

There are still several states that do not recognize my/our Texas CHL/LTC. I was considering obtaining an out-of-state license from another state to cover as many of the states in which I cannot legally carry now. Any suggestions on which state license would get me the most bang for my buck?

Texas LTC enjoys pretty good reciprocity.
Utah or North Carolina would get you Washington state.

Unless you're planning travel to some place specific, it's hard to recommend a specific other state license. None is notably "better" than TX regarding added reciprocity.

North Carolina does not issue non-resident permits. A Texas permit is valid in 38 states, I think the only one out there would be Utah to get Washington, I could be wrong though.

Utah is a good and fairly easy one to get. You don't even have to travel there to get licensed as there are Utah Certified Instructors here in Texas.

I have my Texas and Utah. There hasn’t been to many places I couldn’t carry.

Who or what shop did you go to for your Utah permit?

Our own @Crossfire offers the Utah class.. Although I don't see one on their calendar...

I might be interested in a UT class if the price was right.... If you find one local to FTW/DFW, please let us know.

I’ve had it for almost 20 years. I can’t remember where I got it.

If they don't recognize my Texas CHL, they won't see my dollars.

:iagree: If only more people would do the same and stop paying federal taxes until they either recognize Texas CHL or enforce "shall not be infringed" nationwide.
the die is cast

It sounds nice but we'd have to get at least half of the taxpayers, including employers in the state to join us or the IRS would bury us all.

I don’t have it, but Idaho gets you a few more based on the uscarry map. I think you have to travel there to get it.

Looks like Idaho enhanced permit gets you Washington and MN. Some other states like Maine will honor an ID resident permit only.
