What I would like to see is the Texas Constitution amended to not allow the government to control the "wearing of arms" at all. That, however, may take the 14 Amendment of the COTUS to be ruled as applying to the states, as it should for all rights outlined in the COTUS. That is not to say the state should do away with CHL as to allow us to carry in other states. Being, if you want to get one you can and have the pay a fee, get the background checks, fingerprints, conflict resolution, federally off-limits areas, and shooting proficiency and whatever else that will allow us to be able to carry in other states. I say that because some states do not except non-resident licenses.

If we cannot get the Texas Constitution changed they should write the law so that handguns are looked at the same way as long guns. Guns and the law abiding should be a non-issue as far as the state is concerned. I personally am embarrassed and offended by the open disregard of the state for the God given rights of the people of this state. Just because it has been that way for a long time doesn't make it right in any way. This is the time for us to move on this issue before the recent SCOTUS decision is downplayed or fizzles out.

That is my opinion.
