Most laws as they are originally passed are imperfect. Often these so-called loopholes are created (a loophole is an exception in the law that the speaker dislikes). When the legislature becomes aware of actions that are contrary to its intent, they fix the law. Sometimes courts provide clarification.

I personally think the Texas CHL is too expensive and the requirements are too rigorous, but we need to fix that problem in Texas.

I understand the historical reasons that Texas had a weapons ban to begin with, and I understand the political obstacles to expanding the right to keep and bear arms, but I am disappointed with the performance of the current majority. I have pointed out for years that the CHL fee is more than it needs to be to cover the cost of processing applications, and states that have less stringent requirements have no problem with their situation.
