There I said it. But there can be a compromise to appease those instructors and have them get behind CC. Many states have both, we can still have both. There are now 18 States with Constitutional Carry.
Constitutional Carry and Shall Issue to Residents Only:
Alaska, West Virginia, Wyoming
Constitutional Carry and Shall Issue to Residents and Non-Residents:
Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Idaho, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia
Vermont has had Constitutional Carry for quite some time.
BUT, there has to be a hook - Licensees that go to the trouble of getting it must have enhanced privileges. CC still has restrictions on places to carry, and so should Texas - keep CC restrictions equivalent to what LTC is now. But offer LTC Enhanced licenses to allow carry where we cannot now.
Why can't everyone get behind that proposal?
Also Texas LTC holders, along with other State licensees, do not have to submit to a NICS background check at point of sale. I will keep my LTC, even if we pass Constitutional carry, so that I can carry in other states, and to bypass the NICS hassle.
