No one is saying you have to be an IDPA/USPSA champion to get a license. But there is a middle ground between someone who is shooting rounds into the ceiling, and a guy who is able to double tap a 3" inch target at 50 yards with a sub-compact.
That's the problem with these discussions sometimes, people aren't mature enough to discuss nuance, always going towards the "extremes" to make their point. We can be more mature than this.
I can discuss nuance all day long. Let’s start the discussion with what privileges a Texas License to Carry provides above and beyond what permitless carry provides. That is what determines what, if any, knowledge, skills and/or abilities need to be demonstrated and to what proficiency level is required to obtain the LTC.
