What training have you had?

the same written and proficiency exams that all LTC holders go thru.

Sorry, but the proficiency (or qualifying) with a handguns is definite not training and in here lies the problem.

call it what you want it's good enough for the state of texas. ive legally passed allt he requirements as defined by the state of texas to legally carry a handgun. i shouldn't be kept from doing so, same as LEOs. regarless of what you consider "traning" the leo has met his requirements, as have I. It's the fact that LEOs get special treatment. "here in lies the problem"

At least you know that you have no training. Maybe you can seek out some place to train and it would help to add some IDPA or other competition shootings to your life. It will make you better prepared.

I like the idea of just leaving and report a theft.

Give this a shot and let us know how it works out for you.

I didn't say it is a good idea.

I guess I misinterpreted, "I like the idea of just leaving and report a theft."

You did. No where in the post did I say I might 'give it a shot'.
