This is in line with what Dr. Lott stated in his testimony before the hearing committee. For the first six to nine months after passage, he stated that other states saw a drop in class attendance, but after that, it increased back to previous levels and then went higher when folks learned that they did not know the laws as well as they thought. Saw a case of that last week in the Academy ammo line. Individual open carrying a Taurus in an Uncle Mike's nylon holster. Politely inquired if he was enjoying the new permit-less carry. He stated that he was and that now he could carry anywhere he wanted in Texas. I asked if he knew what a 30.05 sign was. He stated that all those signs are now obsolete and there were no restrictions on where he could carry. Tried to tell him different, but his response was that i did not know what I was talking about. We will see.
Your reply spurred me to create a social media post where I (hopefully) explained to those I know who this may affect that either they should look into taking the LTC class, or at least educate themselves on the subject. I'm sure some folks will do the "TL,DR" thing, but if they do, that's on them. Some folks are dense and only learn things the hard way. I also ensured that I placed the standard disclaimer at the top of the post I made (IANAL, this is not legal advice, for informational purposes only).
