| I am a new resident, and have a non-resident FL CWL, can I legally carry in TX? |
|
According to the TX Department of Public Safety, we do have a reciprocity agreement with the state of Florida. This means a legal concealed weapon licensee from Florida may carry in TX.
Link to the DPS reciprocity site. |

When yours expires, get a TX one. How long to FL license last?
Seems like there was a place a while back offering cheap CHL license class...turned out they were out of FL and some kind of loop hole. Not sure if the loop hole is closed or not. Sorry...I know that wasnt your question, just came to mind. |

Quoted: If he is now a Texas resident, is his FL CCL still valid? As in, does the license validity end with his residency in Florida? If so, that would necessitate a Texas CHL to continue carrying concealed. As long as the FL CHL is valid, he is legal to carry in TX. |

| I recently moved from NY and have a NYS CCL, but I was told I have to get a TX CCL to carry bc once I left NY and became a TX resident, its no longer valid in NY. NY CCL's don't expire or get renewed so you would think that since I had a valid carry permit in one state and now move to another I should be able to be given that new states CCL, instead of going through the process again and fees again that I already did over 20yrs ago. It's like I never carried the last 20yrs and if I wasn't valid or still legal to have it in one state they would have taken it so its obviously in good standing before I became the resident of another state. Makes no sense to me. Reprocity is only if traveling through another state. |

Do you know Texas laws? And Reciprocity is not just for traveling through another state. Our new friend from Florida is proof of that. He has a FL license. He can carry on it here and never get a Texas License as long as he renews his FL license. |

He can carry on it here and never get a Texas License as long as he renews his FL license. NY was one of the first states to ever offer a CCL over 50 years now and still one the toughest states to be granted one in. The background checks, references, etc and final judge approval is extensive and could take 6-months to a year. You can't just apply, pay fees, take a class and receive one. Or like in some states a driver's license and ssc# check. So what your saying is I was legal to carry in NY(anywhere except for school property, federal buildings, and bars unless you have permission from the owner). In NY stores can't put up signs telling you, you can't carry. But after all the approval process, I'm not good enough to be granted one here if it was valid and in good standing? In NY if you have a CCL and purchase a firearm you still have to have a phone call made you can't just show your permit, each handgun you buy or sell has to be listed on your permit. You have to have 5yr checks done in order to buy or sell a handgun but not to continue to carry or posses all you already own. So you are constantly checked and re-checked and if you did commit a crime,etc They would take it along with you handguns. NY is a shit hole for a lawful/good citizen that's why I no longer live there , they just try and take and take, tax you to death, only scum bags have rights there. And I'm sick of snow and negative temps. It doesn't matter if I moved to Mars if I had one of the most extensive checks done already why should I have to do it again in ANY state is my point. IMO agree or disagree it should be based on the states CCL if you have a more extensive check done then the state you move to it should be honored on its merits to obtain in the first place! If I decide to carry here I will get one this is JUST MY OPINION. BTW the local police captain told me when I moved here and asked about CCL, that reciprocity was only for traveling through the state not becoming a resident of the state. |

That's all well and good, but if a Texas resident has to get one, and the state of NY invalidates yours when you move, then bitch about NY and get a Texas license. Learn our laws. We gotta get those Yankee ways out of you somehow And your police Capt understands the intent of reciprocity, but apparantly not how it works. People who are residents of Texas carry of on lots of out of state licenses, just like the OP can. |

Makes no sense to me. Reprocity is only if traveling through another state. Get the TX one. Remember, part of leaving NY is ceasing to use NY identification, including their gun licensing and registration cards. Make the process complete, frame the NY one as a symbol of oppression you once lived under and get a Texas CHL. Nobody here will 'appreciate' your NY license as anything but a symbol of YANKEE. And the question will be, WTF are you using that for? And, remember, you arent in NY anymore. Leave the crappy attitude, my-shit-is-better nonsense at the border. A good start as assimilation is to stop saying " IN NY.......... " SCREW NEW YORK ! ( Full disclosure, I have a NY pistol license that does not expire too, but its not in my wallet ! ) |

Your are both right and I didn't have a NY attitude when I lived there, still trying to slow my pace down though much better here. NYC and NYS or upstate and down state NY are entire opposites. Unfortunetly politically corrupt NYC runs the show for all. I wasn't going to use my NY permit or show it here, that's done. But my point I was trying to make as since I have had one in good standing when I left and the extensive process to get and keep it. Any state should have a modified permit process for those who have already gone through it VS. someone who never has taken the time or spent the money to apply for an CCL.
Here is an example of what I meant. Years ago I was in a Vegas.gunshop me and the guy at the counter were talking about concealed carry and he asked "do you have a NY ccl" I said yes, he said well If you came here and showed that to whoever he said, I don't remember but he commeted they just give you one of ours(I think he called it a blue card) NY permits are hard as hell to get what a process. Now this was before many states didn't even allow cc. He may have been entirely full of shit but that was my unexciting story. Also TX is a great state and I while I live in East or NE part I have not seen anywhere I feel I need to carry one. NY is totally different, even the corner stores had armed guards. When I was growing up there it was nothing like that but society has changed so much. I know they are cities here that are different. Also here I can open or concelled carry on my property and I can have a handgun in my car out of sight. So eventually I will get a TX one. Have had a lot of stuff to care of since the move and still have another house in NY being sold. |

The class is 4 hours, you will learn TX law that you didnt know before ( and keep yourself out of the slammer ) and its not a lot of time invested. One day is usually all it takes. Mail your packet.

So you felt my pain , I haven't been using the NY permit, I was told too many conflicting things by Dept of public safe., police dept, dealers,etc. No one could give me a concrete answer it is was ok or not. So I was just being careful and not carrying here with it. I only carry on my own property or out of sight in my truck. Thanks
PS-Where in NY? |
