Yes, You Still Want a Texas LTC: Here's Why

After listening to all this and hearing just how muddled-up everything is regarding THIS law, THAT law..the ‘difference between being allowed to carry with an LTC vs “ONLY” Constitutional Carry, all these differences do nothing but serve THE LAWYERS, the judicial system as a whole. Just like most everything in life, instructions for virtually all in life has come down to being written BY lawyers using legal “jargon” making life more confusing and making it HARDER for the average person to defend themselves without having to worry about “what law is this, which law is THAT..can I do this or that”. The ONLY ‘law’ there SHOULD be is the one that says “iF you’re not a menace to society, if you’re a decent, honorable and have shown NOT to be a threat to others, etc, etc then THE Constitution AND our Bill of Rights should be ALL that’s required because it worked for so long BEFORE lawyers and the “legal system” decided there’s something more in it for them. Read virtually ANYTHING these days, there are disclosures, legal disclaimers and even the ads ON THE TV/RADIO include the “fine print”. It’s a messed-up situation that could be a lot better. ‘Simpler’ is almost ALWAYS better. Y’all KNOW what I mean..whether or not you’re willing to admit it is another story.

Strange that my anti-gun state of Washington has less restrictive concealed carry in some respects. To get a CPL (concealed pistol license) you fill out an application, get fingerprinted, pay your $50 fee, and wait for it to come in the mail. Open carry is legal without a permit. Stores and the like can post no pew signs, but there's no law against carrying in those places even if they have a sign. The most they can do is ask you to leave and report you for trespassing if you don't. If you're concealed carrying they're not going to know anyway. In any case, apart from government buildings and the like (the usual suspects), I never see such signs where I live (maybe in Puget Sound you see them).. Otoh, we have the mag ban (which applies to all guns, including pistols including standard double stack glock mags and the like), safe storage law, red flag law, safety course to purchase or transfer, can't carry near protests, etc.

Good to know that being a licensed carrier carries a lot of weight with the jury. Frustrating that’s how it is, though.

It costs a measly $40 for an LTC, if you can't afford the license you should be conceal carrying. No, an LTC should not be free, we (citizens of this country) do not want everyone carrying.

There shouldn’t be a license, but the idea you have to “buy a right”🤣🤣

@@williamhenszlein5032 I still don’t even know what your trying to say. A- you should not need a license to use a right B- if your required too, it should be free because it’s a right. If your state doesn’t give the constitutional right to protect yourself and require you to take classes, fill out a form, get fingerprints, and wait for approval it should be on their dime. It has nothing to do with the amount of money at all. I don’t care if it costs 1$, it’s the point you have to pay to protect yourself

@@lolyourmad2181 there is no thier dime when it comes to government, we taxpayers/consumers pay for everything. Nothing in life I'd free bud.

3005 they have to trespass you so then you leave. Its a trespass warning. They would have to see you have a firearm and ask you to leave. Doesent change the right to constitutional carry.

Seems to me that any knife should fall under the category of "arms" in the 2nd Amendment. Somehow government has run roughshod over our right to carry folding pocket knives of a "certain" size. I have a 3 1/2" folding Buck knife with a pocket clip. In San Bernardino, CA I was told pocket knives up to 3 1/2" were legal even if fully concealed. Meanwhile in neighboring Riverside, CA the limit was 3 1/4" if concealed in a pocket. I have not looked up the laws to verify what I was told, but I don't live in CA anymore anyway. But still... when the Bowie knife was king of the Southwestern United States just less than 200 years ago I don't see a reason to think a 3 1/2" blade is weapon that the Founding Father's could not have imagined and therefore in "need" of extra regulation. Are we ever going to address knife regulations in this country? They vary too much from one city and state to the next. Gravity knives, switchblades. OTF (out the front) knives, spring-assist knives... The restrictions on knives are also unconstitutional. They should be abolished.
