Thread: CHL or NOT, My experience

I have one...however in AZ I don't really need it unless of coarse I'm trying to hence conceal the fact.

You can already carry at home, in your car (of course) but can potentially carry anywhere anyway due to the second amendment.....our instructor started out the class with a comment on how he thought the whole thing was a joke, and that there should be (or is, or will be) almost no restriction on where one can carry concealed or exposed once the lawyers just have press hard enough.

I'm not entirely sure of the validity of that claim. Our instructor was completely different and stressed the importance of never carrying your gun without your license.

As for open carry, Texas is one of the few states that doesn't allow it which to me is crazy. www.opencarry.org is a great place to find that stuff out.
