My personal belief is 2aRTKBA is the only thing required to carry...whether that be open or concealed. However we are living in a very litigous society. Under the current system, if there is to be some minor changes I would support the following.

1. Open Carry for all non-felon and legal Texas Citizens.
2. No fault Conceal Carry under the current rules, but with no fault if it accidently shows or prints.
3. I would ask Texas to move the New law changes to an on-line class that can be done over the internet in the privacy of your home. You would enter your licences number and watch the 15 minute power point presentation and the system would log your ID as having done the course for the year.
4. training is up to each person and is what I would say falls more within the personal responsibility side of owning a weapon. Personally anyone who doesn't train how they fight is just plain stupid. A yearly training requirement is not always practical...I am an example of that. I work for the US government abroad, I don't get to come back here every year so I would not be able to meet this qualification.
5. I would like to see a second renewel of a CHL become a lifetime permit renewel for a flat 300-500 dollar fee. Done deal.
6. I would like to see the state of texas pass a resolution that basically says it will not enforce any federal regulation or law that does not uphold the consitution rights.
7. I would like the State of texas to pass a law making all CHL and Open Carry citizens who have had to use their weapons in self defence be exempt from frivolous wrongful death lawsuits.

Thats my two cents within the current structure.
