On the flip side of things, State Representative Jonathan Stickland has his own idea for keeping Texans safe. The Dallas area Rep has filed what he calls the Constitutional Carry Act, a bill that would allow gun owners to open carry or concealed carry without a license.
On his website, Stickland writes, "The second amendment alone should stand as one's 'permit,' to ensure their safety and right to self-defense." The way the law stands now, first-time applicants for a license to carry a firearm must take a training class and pass a written exam. |

| Rights are alright if paired with responsibility. So where's the training class incentives? Maybe write law to lessen liability for a person having the class. Untrained shooters best know the law, and how to react effectively, before making the choice to carry and take action. |
