I had the same thoughts......now, I'm going back to destroying my master bedroom for my remodeling, lol.

Honestly I'm glad Matefrio posted this info. I don't have any kind of agenda, just genuine interest. It's good to hear LEOs confirm my hopes that those were just MINIMUM requirements. Also find Bithabus' comment interesting about criminal history requirements. I learn something new here almost every single day. Thanks for all the input from every one.

I think since CHL holders must pass a course of fire similar to the TCLEOSE minimum, and we must pass a stricter criminal history check (42.01 in past 5 years is a DQ for CHL but not TCLEOSE), CHL holders should be allowed to carry anywhere LEOs may carry.

I agree. There should be no limits on where we can carry concealed. Exceptions for police sets up a privelaged class that really does no good for law-abiding citizens. Just for the record, I have several LEO friends who are very much in favor of CHL's and respect my right to carry legally. They are all either the rank and file officers or elected by the people, not the hired bureaurocrats of big city government.
