Here in Va to get a chp you just need to take a safety course my hunter safety class qualified. We also have open carry here and no permit is required, I do a fair amount  of it during the summer.

My wife never shot a gun or took a gun course in her life before I got her the Full Carry permit.

Seems like you have a little communism sprouting up in Texas. After all, how dare they ask for a course and shoot off.

Wow, I stand corrected!  I did not know that.  When you mentioned the judge had to sign off on it, that seemed like it could be a pain to me, but certainly doesn't sound like it is if that is the only step.
