My buddy and have been conversating about the Castle law (doctrine). The law states that you have the right to protect your castle(home) and it has extended that to your auto or work place. He says that you have the right to protect youself any where you are legally which he says gives you the right to carry a gun with out a liscence also stated by the 2nd amendment. I have tried to discuss with him that the CHL is to educate the individual. Which in turn informs a LEO that you are a good citizen that has passed a background and is not there to harm someone else but to protect himself or family.

I want to know what everyone else thinks.

Thanks
in Texas, you can carry, on your property (residential, your work place that you own, your farm) and in your car with no licenses.
You can NOT carry in the public with out a CHL.

There are other exceptions, like hunting, shooting at the range, etc...
