By the very same logic, the right to self-defense (if there is such a right) is in no way violated by a CHL requirement. There would still be a lot of ways to defend yourself without the pistol. You could use your fists, a stick, a rock, etc.

Be very careful when declaring anything a privilege instead of a right, and always remember the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. They ar enot used vry much, but I see them becoming much more important to our daily lives in the very near future.

You had it exactly correct. Thanks for jumping in with it. Working for the state, we get a little sloppy sometimes since we all use the word "session" as a short cut for the legislative session. It tends to preoccupy a lot of the time and office discussions in Austin. We are already working on preparation for the 2011 legislative session and it seems like we still have not finished going over everything that happened in the last one.

Texas doesn't if you pass a defensive driver's course (and since the last session if you are over 18). Written test is all that is required then.
