I’m a multi generational Texan and have been around and used guns since I was a young kid. The decision to bring one into my home was well thought out…The decision to carry will be just as difficult. If you carry a gun you’re deciding if you pull it out and point it at someone.. you are prepared for that person to NEVER get up again. I like you do not advocate novices having guns.
Really great and true advice…thanks
