And yes, I think the age needs to be at least 25.

So a 22 year old father shouldn't be able to protect his family outside the house?
I guess he should not vote or serve in the military either... But he can.
What age is too old? 80?

Not to pick on you specifically, but this mind set bothers me. It's not about age. It's about maturity and there are some 30+ year olds who shouldn't carry, while many 18 year olds would be great to have armed in public.

When we head down that road of further restrictions, we run the risk of opening the flood gates to restricting what is a God-given right; the right to defend ourselves.

Speaking of the state adding to the curriculum, A Texas CHL costs much more than does a CC permit/licenses in many reciprocating states. Are we smarter than the CCW licensees in other states because we've paid more for our Texas CHL?

It was just the two of us we were seated at a table next to the buffet line. It was winter, I knew "Joe" carried. He was a friend of a friend.

If I saw somebody else carrying, I'd be forced to make a judgment call. If I thought they were just a CHL, I'd say "your 2nd amendment is showing".
