I have a chronic condition and I take medication that says “do not operate machinery” on the label. Should I carry at all?

Someone is slightly retarded (I don’t know what the PC designation is) should they be able to get a CHL? To carry it a little further, who decides? What is the cut off IQ?

These are serious questions. I would like to know.

Since no one seems interested in answering my question, I will state my own opinion on them.

Of course no one should use illegal drugs carrying or not. I have taken these prescription medications for years and I know positively they do not cloud my judgment, reflexes or hand/eye coordination. If I thought there was the slightest chance of this, I wouldn’t carry.

Someone is slightly retarded (I don’t know what the PC designation is) should they be able to get a CHL?

I would hope the instructor would watch him/her closely including the shooting then if he felt inclined, recommend to the DPS that they not grant him/her a CHL

To carry it a little further, who decides?

The class instructor and if this is not acceptable to the applicant then a judge.

What is the cut off IQ?

This should be decided by the Texas legislature.

Anyone else care to voice an opinion?
