Re: Concerns Arise Over Law Allowing Drivers To Carry Guns

Unlicensed car carry is legal in plenty of other states, where there's no problems with it. So unless you believe Texans are inferior to residents of other states, then you don't have much to worry about.

What scares me are the people who used to be armed at home, never been to the range, and do not know how to safely handle a weapon the weapon 18 inches from them. Am I the only one?
The level of proficiency that the CHL test requires is so minimal the fact that someone has passed the test isn't a very good indication at all that that they'll have the ability to be safe with their gun in the real world. Not that I think the test is too lax, I just think it should be eliminated as it's pretty worthless IMO.
