I am a handgun owner, a long-time Texas resident, and I am applying for a Florida Concealed Weapon/Firearm license, which under present law is valid in the State of Texas. I am also a retired military officer with commendations and a former medical professional who is soon to be retired due to a recent disability. While I am disabled and unable to properly care for patients or deal with electronic medical records, I still have the ability to fire a weapon accurately and safely carry the firearm in a concealed manner, in my opinion. I seem to be doing well on the firing range, despite my disability. I took the Florida Concealed Weapon/Firearm course which is much more suitable to someone like me who would have difficulty spending the time in class required by the Texas course. I feel that I received more than adequate training in class. I believe the reciprocity currently available between Texas and other states should continue, as well as the ability to take the Florida course. I would encourage fellow Texans to think more than twice, to consider the ramifications upon fellow Texans, and to do some research before encouraging yet another restriction upon our freedoms and liberties. Thank you.
