A coworker of mine told me about a part of the tx ccw law that forbids carry of anything smaller than a .32. I grew up in Pennsylvania and was expecting alot more out of tx, ccw wise. The cost, the wait, and, if it's true, the limitations are very annoying. Not that I want to carry a .22, I just don't think it's the state of tx buisness to be telling anyone what is rght for them to carry.
Does anyone know if this is fact or just more "my buddy told me, he has alot of guns, HE would know" crap? |

Quoted:
+1. carry whatever you like, but during the qualificaton portion of the chl class you must shoot a .32 or larger But you have to qualify with a semi auto to be able to carry a semi auto, if you qualify with a revolver, then you can only carry a revolver, so there's more to it than "carry whatever you like".
