Some reform of the Texas background checks should be on the agenda for the next legislative session.
Whether that will happen depends upon how much financial support the
TSRA PAC receives in the next year and a half (hint, hint).

Yes, I suppose that only left them with six legislative sessions to update it...
On that note, TSRA does a great job and I'm glad we have them around.

Another problem is that people reach age 30, 40, 50, or 60 and decide to get a CHL. They find out that it is not always a pleasant, easy, quick, or cheap process. They gripe. Then they get the plastic and forget about it.
The total number of CHL holders (maybe approaching 400,000 now) is a small fraction of the population. It is spread all over the state and not a voting bloc.

Well, it should be less of a hassle/cost. Bureaucratic bull is just that. Especially for something that is a violation of the spirit of the 2nd Amendment to begin with.
So yeah, I'll gripe.
I'll be renewing my Florida CHL.
