Packing In Colorado

The latest news on reciprocity agreements is good for Texas residents who have CHLs and will be travelling to Colorado.  Governor Perry signed a proclamation recognizing Colorado permits as valid in Texas.  By Colorado law this automatically makes Texas CHLs valid in Colorado.

I guess I don’t need that non-resident New Hampshire permit anymore.  I obtained it specifically for the purpose of use in Colorado, since it seemed to be taking practically forever for Texas to get around to negotiating reciprocity with Colorado.

The NRA-ILA news item above also mentions that Texas will now honor New Mexico permits.  It needs to be stated that New Mexico does not recognize Texas CHLs and cannot do so without changes to New Mexico law.  However, New Mexico does have a provision for vehicle carry, which is better than nothing while traversing the northeastern corner of the state while getting from Texas to Colorado.
