Because if anybody (not necessarily the OP) does something stupid with a CHL, it figuratively and literally (in the DPS convictions data) reflects badly on the rest of us.
Which is why we shouldn’t need a license to carry. If someone does something stupid and speeds you want them to lose their license to carry? How about watering their lawn on the wrong day? If you can get your drivers license back after a DWI in less than 5 years, what the heck does a LTC matter. Since almost everything in a felony these days and you probably commit several per day without knowing it, I don’t think any misdemeanor should bar gun ownership, carry, or purchase.
Sorry, I didn't quote ldj1002 precisely enough. I meant, as he said, and an LTC'd person doing something stupid with a gun (not speeding ticket nor watering on the wrong day). There is a collective reputational and maybe political cost to that.
