My BIL is an ER doctor in NY who got his CHL while finishing medical school and his residency here in Texas. Since he is an ER doc he has experience treating gunshot wounds, but chooses to carry anyway, or perhaps because of this.

He also has a very hard to come by carry license in NY and is the FBI SWAT team physician in his region.

man how cool is that

I recently took a CHL class, and didnt really understand one point. At the time, I was thinking, "no brainer, dont go anywhere near a school (middle school, high school) carrying." I'm more curious though now. I remember my instructor saying technically you just cant go inside the building or into the arena, you can still carry on the grounds and property- true? With alot of this stuff, I almost feel like its not even worth it to test, and to just stay away. Same with improper 30.06 and 51% signs, thoughts? My instructor was basically telling us that if the signs are not posted exactly how the law expects (or slightly ripped), size/location-wise he just totally ignores them, which technically is legal, but it sounds like you could still get arrested, and then have to goto court, spend a bunch of money, then eventually get off the charge down the line.... really worth it? I guess you could say "yeah it is, if someone was going to take my life, I'd want my gun on me" but you could also say "whats the odds of that happening?" I dont know, I'm just really new to the CHL and dont want to stir up any problems and appear on the news or be arrested in front of co-workers and labeled a gun nut (even if I was legally justified because the signs weren't the proper size or something, etc). What do you think?
