This has to do with open carry to educate people about restraint holsters.


Yes, but without specificity, either in regards to ammo, or holsters, I'm also confused, by the need for putting this forward as a bill. With the almost unlimited, types of ammo, and holsters, this could be interpreted, as an entirely separate class. Which would extend the time required, for instruction. Since it doesn't state, that any ammo/holster questions, be added to the test, I too think this is a solution, looking for a problem.JMHO
I don't know Rep VanDeaver's reasons for authoring this bill, but it can not be interpreted as requiring an entirely separate class.
I believe that DPS decides what questions are on the test, not the legislature.

Re: HB 497 - Add Types and Uses of Ammunition to Required LTC Course Curriculum

The way I read the bill, it adds certain topics for LTC TRAINING that have to do with retention holsters and types of ammo.
It does not apply to what types of ammunition can be used for concealed carry.
Since 22LR can now be used for the proficiency testing maybe they want to make sure that students don't think that
it is suitable for self defense?
