Translation: People today are not smart enough to responsibly carry a firearm without the government [thinking they need to] set reasonable limitations.The days of the wild west are long gone. The days where daddy taught his sons firearm safety and use are long gone. Urbanization, demographics, and mere population numbers dictate reasonable and prudent decisions and behaviors.
Pure OC will not happen in Texas. Licensed CHL having the option to OC will occur I believe with this caveat. Required basic course completion in firearm safety and utilization Wil be required for CHL and renewals, and would be retroactive to include all CHL who wish to open carry. The CHL will have an endorsement certifying completion of basic firearm safety completion noted on the license before one could OC.
Mark it down. You have heard it first.
As ugly as that is, it's true. Think of a person with average intelligence — half of everyone is dumber than that.
ETA: Added verbiage for clarity. Still doesn't change my stance on constitutional carry.
