I don't know if it's changed any but in the 70s, the Air Force gave me no training or experience with handguns. I had two days of training with the AR-15, but was no better prepared to carry a handgun than a civilian 18 to 20.

There is an effort underway to provide more handgun training in the army, but until then its more safety and rifle marksmanship.

Vol Texan, I agree with you. I thought it was only constitutional carry at first too... apparently the decision affects both... but apparently there is room for Texas law to be changed to only allow one or the other.

Some great info in that video! Like they say at the end, this is the canary in the coalmine. There are a lot of other bogus laws that will also be struck down.

I don't know what the political winds are, but my guess is that the LTC age will be lowered to 18 for everyone. I'm good with that. There are plenty of 18-20year olds that out shoot their elders. Will be interesting what actually happens with CC.

LTC law in Texas allows active, reserve component, and honorably discharged vets over 18 and under 21 to receive a LTC. In most cases, the individual was gifted a handgun by a parent, and some were bought through private sales. Will be interesting to watch this case as it unfolds.

This.

Defendants and all their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert or participation with them are hereby ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from enforcing Texas’s statutory scheme against law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds based solely on their age.

3. This injunction is hereby STAYED for thirty days, or pending appeal, for the duration of the appellate process.

Looks like at least 30 days until it goes into effect.

Glad to see the Bruen is having a real effect
