The thread title is to draw attention
Texans getting concealed handgun permits without ever firing a shot | khou.com | Khou.com - News, Houston news, Texas News, Headlines
Texas concealed handgun law requires range with with an actual gun. However, they have reciprocity with Utah (as does nearly everyone else). Utah does not require any range time at all.
The concern is that there are Texans carrying right now, who think they're qualified to use their firearm for protection, when they have never actually fired a gun. some people seem to think this is wrong, and that Texas should break reciprocity with Utah, and require people here to at least learn how to use that piece of equipment on your hip.
I don't see this being a political, "gun rights" thread, so shove that. Lets' discuss whether reciprocity has gone too far, or whether a state should even have reciprocity with another state who's requirements are significantly laxer. Heck, we could even discuss open carry in Texas and other states, and how someone who open carries also doesn't need training.
