10 days after I renewed my Texas CHL, for the third time, it was in my hands (today). New rules allow for online renewals for CHL holders who have held their license for 3 consecutive renewal, you don't have to take a course or shoot for 10 years.
The only thing I sent them was my payment.

Rich,a DD 214 should be good for a helluva lot more than we receive.BTW,my son was wounded in the last Mesopatanian sand box debacle + refused his purple heart since his wound was not caused by a bullet.I asked him why he refused the award + he told me,"because you raised me better than that." Still gets me a bit moist at times.

YOU HAVE TO RE-TAKE THE COURSE EACH TIME YOU RENEW?
Here in WV you take a firearms safety course before applying the first time and then just send in your renewal every five years or if you change residence. Also you need to fire a weapon during the "safety" course but there's no mandatory course of fire or "qualification". Many of the people in the course don't even own a handgun and have to use one of our pistols.

Originally posted by Idaho Sharpshooter: A DD-214 that said "Honorable Discharge" on it was all Idaho wanted for mine. And $35 for a four year renewal.

I don't intend for this to start an argument, but I tend to disagree just a bit.
I can see where a person should be taken care of medically if they were actually injured while in the military. Other than that, I do not see where persons who have served in the military should be entitled to any other considerations other than thanks from those who have not served in the military.
I do not know the particulars of the Idaho CHL law, but I will hazzard a guess, that the DD 214 might meet some qualification rule they have on prior firearms training. Just a guess???

I also do not know he familiars of the Idaho gun laws;the DD 214 should have NOTHING to say about ones knowledge of the said 'laws' concerning ownership;however maybe,just maybe,there might be some implication that a member of service personal was/is qualified to handle a weapon.
