Rokyudai,

Please read my response to KRM45.

Rokyudai,

"...debate over which professions should be absolutely aware of every dictum, clause, correlate, sub category, alternate view ..."

The above excerpt relegates knowledge of CHL specifics by law enforcement to a category of pish posh, easily overlooked minutia. There are hundreds of thousands of CHL holders in the state of Texas. Dismissing LEO's regarding their haphazard knowledge of CHL particulars with a cavalier wave of the hand is to view this impressive number of law abiding people, who've gone through quite a bit of time, effort and money to qualify, does a disservice to this group.

LEO's don't have to be attorneys to understand how and where such citizens are empowered.

KRM45,

Of course you're right.

That same thinking applies to LEO's too.

But, the overwhelming majority in both groups are generally the good guys.

CHL holders have, if you will, been given a "Seal Of Approval" as good guys LEO's DON'T have to worry about by virtue of criminal background checks, passing of tests, etc. We have to acqire a lot of "mandatory knowledge" in order to qualify. You'd think they'd think positively towards us. We AREN'T criminals or we wouldn't be allowed to carry. Yet, some seem to have a built in fear of us or maybe it tests some egos...?

It seems rather ironic that LEO's are very well informed regarding the bad guys, but some choose to remain ignorant about the good guys.

I wonder why they don't have to have "mandatory knowledge requirements" of CHL holders?

We certainly have to have a lot of "mandatory knowledge requirements" in order to be CHL holders.
