I think well less than 1% have even applied for CHLs, and folks, in general, are scared of the idea. The usual response to a suggestion of carrying firearm in public is usually, "Why?" A lot of men have pulled out the machismo (when I suggest getting licensed), "Only wimps carry guns". I always fear being pulled over when I visit as the LEOs, to no fault of their own, aren't well experienced with CHL holders. He put that forward for his base.

As someone raised in the Valley, watching Canales, Rodriguez, Lucio, and Hinojosa dealing with the 2A bills has been very painful.

On a related note, the FBI has opened a corruption investigation into Valley politics and government. As one from there, when it's done, in my opinion, it'll rival what's happened in New Jersey and Illinois in recent years. There's an article about it at http://www.expressnews.com/news/local/a ... 951632.php.
