Been thinking about getting my CHL here in Texas. What are the requirements? Restrictions?

Have to take a certified course....and pass it. Then submit your papers and $$$.

Some of the requirements are classroom time, rangetime for handgun proficiency, written test, passport photos and a background check. Also there is a waiting period which averages about 50-60 days. Restriction include age and no felonies or history of domestic violence.

...And about 10 other points to disqualify you from getting a TX CHL, including owing state (TX) school loans.

Texas has got to be the state with the most disqualifiers for a CHL I have yet seen. And no open-carry here, either (but hopefully the TCDL will change that).

Looking forward to moving to New Mexico...or back to Virginia!

All that said, it is still worth doing!

If you are in the DFW area, and are looking for a class, or have any questions, pm me.

The site http://www.packing.org/ has detailed information about every state's concealed-carry laws.
