Requiring a license to carry something that was intended to be a "less-than-lethal" method to stop an attacker or other threat, is something I believe is a bad direction to go in this state...

It will obviously be expected that the Texas DPS CHL office will more than likely be charged in processing these packages...Which WILL effect our firearms carrying licenses...

A training and certification program will have to be expanded or created...

Its a pretty expensive thing to purchase and keep reloads for...Even though it'll be a one shot deal (like someone mentioned above), its still way too expensive to use and maintain IMO...

The models I have seen are about $1000...I do not recall how much the reload cartridges are...

And if it starts at the "Tasers", why should it be surprising to reach out and include other "stun" type devices???

I just see this as a can of worms I'd rather not support...

If you want a device like this, and its intent is to be less than lethal, I do not support requiring a license to carry one for anyone...

Never mind the effect it could have on the 30.06 statute and other aspects of carrying something to defend yourself with...

Somethings afoot here...And its a bit stinky...

Chas.

Remember how this effected our outlook on the "open carry" discussion???

How if we were given that option, that the risk of having the 30.06 wording could have been altered "very easily" if that were to ever come about???

This kinda proves that concern...
