...we’re only days in. That’s not a large enough sample to declare victory for constitutional carry.
I’m going to do it a time or three just because I’d like to flex my now-legal ability to do what should be legal anyway.
But I can’t delude myself into thinking that I have the training or nerves to overcome the adrenaline dump if “it” hits the fan. If I draw and raise the stakes to life and death, I don’t have the skills to really call that bluff, and that’s why I’ve never sought to carry.
Not really...we're thirty plus years in! Your exact argument was made over and over back in the 90's when states started issuing CCWs...people with your sentiment cried that it would be the wild west all over again and there would be shootouts in the streets daily. ....It never happened.
Yet, this rallying cry happens each and every time gun laws are relaxed.
As of June 16, 2021, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota (residents only; concealed carry only), Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee (handguns only), Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming do not require a permit to carry a gun.
Some of those states are among the nation's meth capitals and yet they refuse to legalize pot. Laws against guns don't stop their distribution and neither do laws against pot. Stupidity on both sides.
celebration is premature, background checks are STILL required for firearm purchases, class 3 laws STILL exist. We are still far away from the way it is was intended in this country.

I was just talking about Texas, as was the OP, but yeah I get the 30 year thing I’d you include other states.
Nowhere did I claim it would be a Wild West thing with constant shootouts? What is my sentiment? I only shared why it won’t affect me much as an individual.
You don't need any permit here. But our sheriff runs the CCW classes. He says that anyone who can legally carry, should carry.
