There's a liquor store near here that has a sign "The state let's you carry here, I encourage it."
And ladies, what's your take on this? So far I've left the whole rig in the car, but I hate leaving it there.
Considering the background and criminal history checks involved with getting a CHL in TX, and when you look at the stats that DPS keeps regarding crimes by CHL holders VS non CHL folks, I would trust a CHL holder more than someone who does not carry. But I certainly respect the right of any property holder to determine who can or cannot carry on their property. I just wish people would base their decisions on fact and not emotion.

When is the last time that you heard about a totally random break-in and robbery/killing of homeowners in the Austin area? I have lived in the Austin area for almost 20 years and can't think of one instance. By random I mean there was no connection between the homeowners and the criminals. So once I eliminate the probability of criminals entering your home to do you harm, I take the next step and say I don't want ANYONE in my home with a gun, CHL or not. I fully agree with you that crimes by CHL holders is VERY low, but not zero.
