How many Vets are renewing their CHP since the law changed for Vets? I've had my CHP since they started back in the 90's but with up coming damn tax time I might be not renewing. Mine expires in Jan the same time I have to pay taxes.
There is no benefit for a Vet to get a lifetime CHP you still have to take the class every 5 years.Just get the lifetime. You're not going to pay for it anyway, because Veterans get the fees waived... you just have to pay for the class.
Not true. You don't have to go through the whole renewal process every time. Less paperwork, less BS, less time.There is no benefit for a Vet to get a lifetime CHP you still have to take the class every 5 years.
From reading the law it seems you're not correct. Still have to have the training every 5 years. Does anyone just teach a renewal class? Maybe a CHP instructor can post the difference between a Lifetime and 5 year training requirements.Not true. You don't have to go through the whole renewal process every time.

Yes, you still have to do a class, the regular basic class is fine, but you may be able to substitute some other more advanced class. You'd have to ask an instructor. The renewal paperwork is less, just have to send in the class certificate, no fingerprints.From reading the law it seems you're not correct. Still have to have the training every 5 years.

I did notice it looked like you could just send LSP the paper where you did a class. I did my prints for mine when CHP started and that was the only time. I can't remember how long its's been it's been so long ago LOLYes, you still have to do a class, the regular basic class is fine, but you may be able to substitute some other more advanced class.

But the class is still around $125 every 5 years. I am a vet and I am not renewing. I paid for the lifetime permit years ago but I will not renew.Just get the lifetime. You're not going to pay for it anyway, because Veterans get the fees waived... you just have to pay for the class.
Good point! Thanks!!That is true for within the state. It's not a CHP and has no reciprocity with any other state.
And you can't use it to buy a gun from a FFL to skip the background checks like you could with a CHPThat is true for within the state. It's not a CHP and has no reciprocity with any other state.
Will form DD-256A, which is an actual honorable discharge document from the U.S Army Reserves substitute in lieu of Form 214?Correct me if I'm wrong on this.
I recently spoke with the LSP/CHP people and was told; as a vet all you need to do is take your DD214 showing an Honorable Discharge to the DMV and have your driver's license corrected to indicate you are a Veteran and you are good to go. No classes, no fees.
As a vet, your DL is your CHP.
Please review and advise.
