In the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings, Gov. Perry has suggested that perhaps Texas should not prohibit concealed carry permit holders from taking their guns to school or church. Many people are upset about this. One of the guys in my office was appalled.

“What if the person is crazy?” You have to go through a background check.

“CHL holders need to be educated.” They attend an eight hour class.

“What if they can’t shoot well?” To get the CHL, they must pass a shooting test.

“Why would this be safe?” Because then we can shoot the bad guys instead of only them being able to shoot us.
