Non Immigrant CHL

#1

Post by therealchosen23 »

Hi,
Foreign student here living in Texas. Called DPS and ATF and confirmed that I can legally get a CHL if I have a hunting license. My question about the hunting license is would I Have to do the Hunters education as well for it to be Valid ? The license itself doesn't expire until 8/31/17.

Thanks

No, unless you need the course to renew the hunting license. It's unlikely you'll get a LTC by 8/31/17.
4/13/1996 Completed CHL Class, 4/16/1996 Fingerprints, Affidavits, and Application Mailed, 10/4/1996 Received CHL, renewed 1998, 2002, 2006, 2011, 2016...). "ATF... Uhhh...heh...heh....Alcohol, tobacco, and GUNS!! Cool!!!!"

Thanks Scott for the fast reply . One last question would I be able to purchase or carry a gun in my vehicle now that I possess a hunting license?

Thanks
