Just curious (Utah License)

What are the benefits of getting a Utah License? From what I gather it covers Washington and Ohio (Texas License doesn't). Anything else I'm missing?

it's cheap, and all the cool kids do it.

I think more people got it when it was needed for Alabama (and a couple of other states). Texas has done a lot in the past year or two in area of reciprocity and thus the Utah license is of less value today. But yeah, it's cool too

I cost is a lot less than Texas. The renewal is only $10.00 every 5 years with no expenses on another class.

Yeah, that's it.

No really, the main reasons that people want a Utah CFP:

1. Additional Reciprocity: you add Washington state and Ohio to your Texas states.

2. Cost: The Utah initial license fee is $59, good for 5 years. The renewal is only $10 and you do NOT have to take a class to renew. Send in your money, get your renewal.

3. Eligibility: There are a few eligiblity requirements that might keep you from getting a Texas license, but would not matter to Utah. Such as money owed to the state for child support, taxes, and student loans. Also, some prescription drugs (anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, etc.) can cause problems for a Texas CHL, but not Utah.

And then, of course, there is the "cool kids" factor.

I thought it was the secret handshake you learn as well...

ll "cool J" watson...

Dad's going to try and get a hold of you soon...Yeah, heard that before...

I think I guiltified him enough to give you a call...

Maybe he'll have one before the end of the year...

Like you said...

Hey!

The first rule of the Utah CFP secret handshake is do not talk about the Utah CFP secret handshake!

Me, I'm still waiting for the decoder ring...

Yeah, right! I'll believe it when I get that call!

But, ya know, I think Dad might do better in a one-on-one kinda class.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe we could meet up at Reyes' place and do this over some "death by chocolate". You could come too. Bring your better half, and we can compare Bersa magazines.

Yours didn't come with your license? I guess you skipped the line on the app where you were supposed to put your ring size.

Yep. Cheap and easy. Plus there's a good number of Utah CFP Instructors around that got their credentials by mail before Utah changed their rules to require instructors to take that class IN Utah.

Is there a Utah CHL instructor in the DFW area that's a member of the forum? I am from OH and plan to visit family there soon. I would prefer to carry while visitng if I can. Anyone know if TX is working on reciprocity with OH?

Thanks.

That would be forum member llwatson. There might be others, but she is both a TX and UT instructor, and active on the forum.
