That article was written almost exactly one month to the day before Bush's first election. It's what's known as a hit piece. It's deliberately slanted to place Bush in the worst light possible. Try using actual data instead of leftist cant.

Edit: This little gem is typical of the kind of junk that liberals propagate: "In many cases, concealed gun permits were given to applicants who were obviously unfit. Some had prior conviction records." Doh! Read the law bozos. Once someone has been convicted of a crime, the clock starts. After a period of good behavior, they get the right to carry a gun back.

Of course, the liberals don't want criminals to have any restrictions on their rights at all except when they can use it as "proof" of the error of the right's ways. So criminals should get early probation, government help in readjusting to society, etc., etc., but dear lord, let's not let them have guns after they've proven they can be trusted.

I hate liberals. They're such liars and scumbags, it's hard not to.

I hope I'm not the only one confused, but then I've been there before.
As far as renewal under SB864, the law still refers to "handgun proficiency", which to me means hands-on range qualification. How else can someone prove they are "proficient"?
I have prospective students who will need their first renewal who are asking what they need to do in a couple of months when they get within their six month renewal window, and I don't have a clue as to what to tell them. All this nonsense in the law about what DPS "may" do, or what rules "may" be put in place doesn't tell me anything.
Does anyone really know what a CHL holder has to do after Sep. 1 in order to renew?

In times of danger, not before.
The danger gone, the trouble righted,
God's forgotten, the soldier slighted.

I believe the answer to that is "NO!"

I find such generalizations to be incorrect.
