If you are asking me, then yes, I know that.
What I don't know though is why you think having a CHL carries more responsibility to the handgun carrier as opposed to someone with a concealed weopon in their vehicle that doesn't have a CHL.
Whats the downside to having a CHL?
Take the CHL training and they will explain to you the responsibilities you carry along with the license. Accountability weighs heavily on the possessor of a CHL.
I believe you have to own a pistol before you can go to the class
You can have a gun in the car and at home with no CHL and that's our last bit of ability. Use it. The downsideSSS of a CHL are obvious to those who THINK.
I can't understand what you're trying to say. Our last bit of ability? Ability to do what?
We're talking about carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle here, presumably for self defense. The laws governing the use of deadly force in the state of Texas apply equally to all citizens regardless if you are a CHL holder or a non-CHL holder. I know when I can use it and when I can't, thats my responsibility as a CHL holder. I don't understand the logic behind a CHL holder being more accountable than anyone else when it comes to the use of deadly force. I can only guess that you're referring to how a jury might perceive a CHL holder vs. a non-CHL holder in the event of a civil lawsuit? If thats the case let me know and I will elaborate.
Hopefully Gas "ROUSSEAU" Guzzler can enlighten me with some facts.
You cant get your CHL overnight. I know people who have waited weeks to get it. But, go ahead and get your course out of the way. I carry since I was almost carjacked when in my truck.
Ability to defend our homes, ourselves, our families. The ability to be allowed to follow what the Constitution says, not what stupid gun laws say.Quote:

I'd rather my neighbor nor my Congressman know if and what I carry...
I have several guns , do I carry ? No . Do I have a CHL ? No . Am I so afraid I have to carry a gun ? No .
I am glad that if I so desire I could carry a gun , but I am not so paranoid that I do . I am like the other guy , I can do some serious damager to a person with out a gun . If someone else has a gun and I don't . Let me get a little closer , I will change that .
LOL Good one. Makes sense but you might know Judo....others go for the nuts or gouge eyes....it all works.

Anyway, I carried it for the weekend. We went to South Padre Island for a show, towing a pos with several $$$$ in audio equipment in it I wanted that lil extra protection going. As I said originally I have no real need to carry any other time, just wanted it in the vehicle with me.
CHL might be something I do, but like others I think it could be as much of an problem as it is a benefit.
On topic what do you guys own? I have the xd40 4 inch, looking into possibly getting a kahr
