Fortunately there is no guaranteed right to be comfortable with one's exercising their Constitutional rights huh?

What makes you think there aren't people that have no training and practice running around carrying guns now? Especially in Houston. You think the criminals are trained? People get LTCs now and their only "training" they have is their proficiency test and they never do anything beyond that and carry anyway.
Yep, the highlighted in red, that right there. Gang members and other violent felons sure aren't going to classes and getting any sort of training.

Any law-abiding citizen without a criminal record can buy and carry a handgun if they demonstrate proficiency and knowledge of the law. They cannot be denied. Rights sustained.

I believe with rights comes responsibility. I also believe carrying a gun in public without training or knowledge of the law is irresponsible. I know I will get a lot of pushback on this, so don't expect me to respond to your arguments. Just wanted you to know that there are responsible gun owners out there who do not support this.
Per your statement, I don't expect a response and that's okay. However, I see the passage of Constitutional Carry as quite important. It would tell antis that Texas is NOT going to bow down to gun control, or simply stay quiet, that Texas will continue to be a pro-2A state in defiance of the wishes of antis, and the current Federal administration. We don't want Texas to be "East California", and whatever pro-2A legislation that can be pushed forward, well that sends a strong message, IMHO.

Re: TX: Lt Gov Patrick says not enough Senate votes to pass Con Carry

Does anyone know if the CoP from Ft. Worth was there? Or Amarillo? Lubbock? El Paso? Or just those who were specifically called out?
