Ccw
I agree with you Mr. T.G.'
There's a lot of evidence that CCW has had significant impact on violent crime in many states. It probably has the most dramatic results in cities or parts thereof that have become war zones.
If it were not for a "problem" at the border, I would be well on my way to a Texas CCW now. I'll try again next year.
My biggest problem is with the notion that if you can walk, talk or chew gun or anyone of the three, you can buy a gun. To me, the CCW courses are a joke in terms of safety training. If you can put three rounds on the paper at seven yards, you qualify. I've seen some really scary situations up front and ugly with people who didn't know how to load a magazine or how to operate the safety were given a handgun and a box of ammo to learn by doing in the stall next to me.
I want my CCW here particularly for when the reciprocity legislation passes if it does, so that I have a piece of US based firearm documentation in my pocket and so that I can be armed when I can't avoid dangerous situations and places.
I really don't have all that many answers but I sure don't want to see the situation at home mirror what I see and hear down here. There are extremes and exceptions everywhere but I just don't want to feel, think or act the way many Americans think they must.
