I am for open carry, but with the permit. But the permit not carry a fee. I had a concealed license, but let it expire. The reason I let it expire is because of the fee to have it. As far as taking a course to get a permit, is non sense. I took mine in a vfw hall. We did not shoot any guns and was not required. If you take a class and are required to fire a weapon, that score does not go to the state. It is just to satisfy the instructor. The state of Texas does not care if you even know how to hold a gun. As long as you send them the money, they are happy. So this is why I like the idea of finger printing and issue of a free permit. Also, this stops people who should not be permitted to carry, from carrying. You should be required to carry that permit with you just as you do your drivers lisense.
