And in your opinion, why is that so?

That was one of the amendments that passed.

I'm curious as to why anyone would vote for it since obviously, many just did.

DPS asked for more time so the law get into effect.

Carry(ing) a handgun License is still CHL, no?

No need for Level-1, level-2, or level-3 holsters. All oppositing Senators were re-hashing unfounded fear-mongering as if the CHLers are wackos or nut-jobs and by just removing their concealment garment, they would be super dangerous with their holstered sidearms.

Worst of all, that claim from a anti-gun radio talk head, who claimed, "I see you armed with your gun in the holster, so I am going shoot you because I feared for my life!, ha ha ha" This nonsense claim was repeated on the Senate floor as if shooting a cop (or OC) is justified simply because he has a holstered sidearm.

Ah, how about that Lady Senator who said 4 OCers and 1-bad OC guy and LEO can't figure who is who? How is that possible? Are CHLers a brotherhood mafia or OC gangsters?

So many aggressive unfounded anti claims. Did any of those oppositing Senators provide hard proofs?

Finally, Antis got a small bone a new requirement to add to CHL course a small portion about the retention of your OC sidearm.
