It sounds like (if it passes) I will be able to taylor my classes according to the students vs. a mandated time. I have had large classes with chatty students that take every bit of the 10 hours. I also had a small class with a husband/wife that had already taken the course and never submitted the paperwork. Ten hours was an eternity. What I feel is REALLY important is the CHL holder having "continuing education". We have all read questions on this forum and wondered if the author had been asleep/did not receive/did not comprehend the information during the CHL class. I have had renewal students who took my original course that now had real misunderstandings of the law. I KNOW I taught them the correct information, but over the years, they did nothing to retain the knowledge. I strongly recommend they read this forum and keep up with the material. I would hope they would go to the range and keep their shootings skills at least equal to what they had to demonstate to me. Texas CHL holders as a group are incredibly responsible. The record speaks for itself.

I am neutral on OC. I will not do it but it might be nice not have to worry about my handgun accidently showing. How will you feel if you are out with your family and someone walks in with a handgun hanging on their hip and no badge showing. I know I will go from yellow to orange (CONDITION ORANGE- This is a heightened state of alertness, with a specific focal point. The entire difference between Yellow and Orange is this specific target for your attention. Your focal point is the person who is doing whatever drew your attention to him.) I would just as soon be oblivious of the guy with a gun. I know we are out there and I don't even think about it.
