..."NOW, THEREFORE, I, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, do hereby proclaim that the State of Texas shall give full faith and credit to a valid license to carry a handgun issued by the State of Illinois as long as Illinois permit holders comply with all laws, rules, and regulations of the State of Texas governing the carrying of handguns, including age restrictions and types of weapons permitted.".. Thanks to the those involved making this happen: http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=61336&page=1 . |

Quoted: Valinda has been working on this for about a year...When she got the call yesterday just before they announced, she was so giddy she couldn't sit down!!! She made us proud! And as always, Thank you guys for all your hard work on supporting our rights. |

Quoted: Florida would have to change their requirements like Texas just did a while back. Right now, Florida requires reciprocity before they will recognize another state's permits...Reciprocity isn't on the radar for IL yet. Quoted: Any chance of FL recognizing it?

Awesome. I just bought a home in Texas. I've been trying to decide whether to keep my license in Illinois (I still have my home here as well) or to get a Texas license.
I'm leaning towards getting my Texas license, but I'm trying to figure out what would happen to my Illinois permit. If i could I'd like to see if i could convert it to a nonresident permit. I don't know that they'd do it though because the nonresident permits will only be granted to citizens of Hawaii, SC, NM, AND one other state because their laws are substantially similar to ours. But considering that I have an actual Illinois permit I think it's crazy if they wouldn't grant me a nonresident permit. |

You took and paid for the training required and you paid for the license. They approved the license. Why the hell would they not honor the license until it naturally expires? |
