I also agree as well , but we are not talking about a Galt's gulch producer who complies with the law practices with his weapon and probably has a good head on their shoulders. My concern is the I was beat up through high school and now I have a weapon which is now the great equalizer. I am all for the second amendment and as stated I have a TX CHL, 10 hour course not the new 5 hour class. The question is having a right and imposing the right upon others are different conversations. Or am I to trust that everyone with a gun is intelligent, thoughtful and not given to anger? Looking at the me, me me society where each one of these wannabe hero's has his own BLOG, I have serious concerns. So the bill passes and now each of my fellow Citizens is a potential threat not because they want to harm me its because its when they miss I am worried about. Now if they want to change the training requirements and include a requirement to pass a scenario based training regiment similar to a police academy I am all for it because now, we can say there is at least an attempt to train in the proper use of when and if deadly force should be used. and I agree Criminals, Terrorist and Nuts do NOT obey the law, BUT I don't want to make it easier for them to walk into a mall unchallenged because of a right to carry then suddenly go bat shit. At least now there is a delay and when gun is pulled its obvious who is the issue and a cop or a responsible CHL can take action. The arguments on this subject are good on both sides and I appreciate the conversation. But how many will be carried by 6 when the untrained self appointed responder is being judged by 12? How many domestic arguments will be ended by a third party coming to save the day? This subject is a what if nightmare.

Again I appreciate the comments love posting in the Gulch and my interactions with persons like yourself have caused me to think and seek to educate myself. So I thank all of you. :)

This.

I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
