I recently completed my CHL class and sent in my paperwork. I must say, the class caused me to really think about what I am proposing to do. It's a lot of responsibility carrying a gun and being prepared to use it in the right circumstances. I work for an employer (IBM) who makes it a condition of employment that I NOT bring a gun to work. They also post a sign on the doors, but it does not conform to Texas state law. (Wonder how they missed that.) Despite the non-conforming sign, if I were found to be carrying at work I'd be fired. (I can keep a gun in my car while at work, since its in the parking lot.) My question is, how many of you who have a CHL actually do carry most of the time? When do you make exceptions? Are there folks, especially in states that have the "Castle Doctrine", that just carry a handgun in their cars and have one readily accessible at home? In Texas, that would no longer seem to require a CHL. The Castle Doctrine alone would cover those environs.
