If they (states) do no recognize Texas concealed handgun permit, we should not recognize theirs. But, it’s all about the almighty tourist dollar. Politicians!
I understand your feelings but we the citizens are not responsible for our lawmakers, I vote with no change in ok because of liberal Chicago and there bureavrats, we do not exapand our gun rights by taking away from other states. We must look at long term goals and that is universal ccw in all states!!!
How do you figure Texas,hindering Illinois permit makes Texas a penny. They don’t charge you to carry in their state they just honor your right to defend yourself and family. Now if the state of Illinois would only do the same.
Ken, yes it is. The open carry law applies to any honored concealed carry permit. So you can carry in the same way and in the same places as someone with a Texas License to Carry. But please note there are restrictions but those restrictions are not unique to you… the are the same for anyone with an honored permit including locals with the local license.
Take a class from a TX certified instructor and then apply for the permit. Your previous permit from a different state has not bearing on getting a TX permit.
I appreciate the great state of Texas for extending their privilege to Illinois ccw . The politicians of our state do not represent our views toward other states.
I’m moved to Texas from Illinois. I have a Conceal Carry from Illinois. And I forwarded my mail to my Texas address already. So can I carry my firearm with me until I can switch my ID and Driver license to Texas?
