Chas, No offense taken whatsoever!

I took your responce for what it was: A response from a trainer who knows his stuff and is ready to train others in the code as well as real world aspects of the topic.

I just find it ironic that 35 plus years later we face much the same challenges for law abiding citizens with registered guns acting legally defending their lives against live long criminals who possess illegal and unregistered guns.

Such is the state of our society that we seem to value the rights of the criminal over the law abiding citizen.

May common sence reign once again!

Chas, Thank you for clarifying. So outside the home it is all grey.

Thirty five years ago a police chief came folloowing a breaking into my grandfather's appartment. fortunately my grandfather, who's home had been robbed a dozen times, had well trined and large dogs that chewed the burgler pretty well ( I saw the blood on the kitchen floor and leading out the window he came in threw). My grandfather shot toward the fleeing burgler, but deliberatly not at him, to warn him that he should expect worse should he come back. He told all this to his friend the police chief.

The poolice chief said next time if he shoots at a burgler he had better kill him or be sued and he had also better drag the body inside his apartment if he does.

Of course forensics have advanced over the lat 35 years. However the underlying problem with shooting in self defense remains with that darn grey area. Did you really need to shoot? Well yea I did or he would have killed me, that's why I shot! unfortunately, there seems to be never ending second guessing of defensive shootings, and the "outside" part of the TX law opens the door.

Thank you Chas!

Texas is far ahead of Wisconsin, and other states, for guarding the rights of its citizens.

Did Texas pass the law/amendmentment, like Florida's, that one is not legally required to run first before shooting in self defense?

I would expext that Texas already had such a law as it is common sense and that is how I view Texas: common sense laws--Unfortunately common sense is all too uncommon elsewhere!!!

Thank you once again!

Two questions, please, regarding Concealed Carry licensing from your knowledgeable folks:

1) Does Texas issue concealed carry licenses to non Texas residents if they live in states that do not issue concealed carry licenses to their state residents?

Assumming "YES" to question number one;
2) Among you, Who offers concealed carry classes and what is your schedule?

Wisconsin is a very backward state when it comes to allowing concealed carry. Our Govenors have a history of vetoing concealed carry bills. Milwaukee, a city of about 600,000 people has about 113 record murders this year (so far) and can be attributed, in part, to the fact that the liberal Govenors will not allow us good citicens to carry legal firearms and protect ourselves from people with illegal firearms Seattle, is the same size and similar in many ways and its murder rate is 35 this year -- they issue concealed carry permits and have one third the murders! This confirms what we already know!

Thank you very much for your help!
