What Do You Think?

Few rights carry as much responsibility as a concealed handgun license. The Texas CHL course reflects this by concentrating not on handgun knowledge, but on the other aspects of legally carrying this means of self defense.

These questions are similar to those found on the written examination required of Texans applying for the license. Of necessity some reflect Texas law. As you mark the answers, ask yourself if you know what your state law says on the subject. You'll get my responses, and the reasons behind them, when you are finished.
