Re: Better off not getting CHL now?

Here's is my repley to him.

So, are you telling me, that if you shoot someone and it falls out of the guidelines of when Texas says that you can legally use deadly force...YOU can just tell the judge and the jury that it's OK I didn't take the course so I was ignorant of the laws. Are you thinking they are going to say "Oh , I am sorry we didn't know that you are ignorant of Texas laws, you are free to go!"

Carrying a firearm also carries a large amount of responsibility with it. You better know the laws. Have you ever heard the phrase "Ignorance of the law is no excuse?"

Better off not getting CHL now?

Good Morning. First post on this forum and I have a question?

My stepson is about to get a pistol for his wife. So, I inquired about her getting her CHL. His response was "In most cases now, you are better off not having a concealed handgun licence. If you have one and shoot someone. There is no ignorence for the law as you went to the class and carry a licence. You there for know all the laws before you pulled the trigger"

My wife and I both had ours the first year that George Bush signed the CHL bill. I will hold off on telling you guys what I told him for now. What do you think?
