After reading Massad Ayoob's book In Gravest Extreme years ago, it was etched in my brain that a CHL doesn't give you a set of balls to become the new sheriff in town, it in fact reins in and puts a check on any aggressive tendencies you may have.In Texas if you run your mouth and get assaulted you can lose your justification to fight back. Bottom line: if you carry a gun don't run your mouth to strangers.
Bottom line, if you're looking for a fight or want to play parking lot police, leave your gun at home.
