Capitol Building AZ CHL
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 9:17 am
Hey all I just have a real quick story to share with you all about packing in the capital building in Austin.
A few months ago a friend of mine came to visit from Las Vegas. She is real big on sight seeing and history and asked if we could go checkout the State Capitol. I of course was carrying that day like always. We walked around the exterior for a while and I was curious if I would be able to carry inside the building or not. I took out my trusty smart phone and according to google carrying in the Capitol was a go. But here is the catch I carry on an Arizona CHL not a Texas. So I figured I would give it a shot.
I approached the CHL line and presented my Az CHL and my Tx drivers license. The Trooper asked if I had a Tx CHL and I told him no. I am in the military and already had my Az CHL and felt to reason to get my Texas permit as long as my Az permit is valid. He asked if I was carrying today and I told him of course. He got on his phone and called his dispatch to ensure my permit was valid. After about 30 seconds on the phone he handed me my information back shook my had and thanked me for the service to our country.
Very good encounter in my opinion.
Stay safe!
