This is not a guns right thread and I don't want it to turn into one.

What are the laws in your state regarding carrying a weapon? I'm about ready to take a concealed weapons permit class and was just curious about the laws were you live and if you do carry what is your weapon of choice?. 

To get a CHL in Texas, you have to under go a thorough background check, go through a training class, and qualify on the firing range. Then you can carry a concealed handgun as long as you obey the law. You can also carry in other states that have an agreement with Texas. And vise-versa.

I carry sometime. I don't sometime. I have never felt threatened while out on the road traveling. I tend to be of the opinion that people don't, generally, mess with people while "out-and-about". I guess I am a bit weird in that I feel most vulnerable in places that are crowded and hard to get out of. That being said, I am seldom setting in a restaurant, movie theater, or church unarmed. There have just been too many instances of lunatics slaughtering people in those places. I can't stand the thought of being penned down in some sticking Burger King and not being able to do something besides bleed.

45ACP. If I have to shoot somebody I don't want them to be able to shoot back.
