Here is the problem I have. The State CCL says one thing. My 18 years of Firearms Training and my Federal retirement badge say another. I was trained to put two in the chest and one in the head as part of a Body Armor drill, that some like to call the Mozambique. State CCL course tells me head shots are murder. I was trained to shoot from 25 yards for 18 years. State CCL course tells me, I cannot engage past 15 yards, and must retreat if being fired on from a further distance. I was trained never to turn your back on a shooter, unless death was your goal. So, what ultimately takes primacy. My retirement Badge and Credentials, that I still carry, or the CCL course, and the CCL I carry. I want to know who wins in this one, Federal or State CCL.

If your not a cop then civilian rules apply. What statute in TX states you "cannot engage past 15 yards, and must retreat if being fired on from a further distance."?

CCL course regulations. My point is, I do have a badge (retired), and I do have credentials (retired), and I do posses a CCL. They can jam me up if they like, but training takes over, and it was never turn your back on a shooter.

I'm not licensed in TX, but you might want to take a closer look at its laws:

Here are the TX LTCH Laws

Yeah. I just default to training, after nearly 2 decades of that is hard not to. I just don't want to get jammed up.

I spend a lot of time reading and keeping up with TX carry and use of force laws, I am always learning, but I have learned not many people know where to find the statutes or what case law backs up things they know, or were taught. I still like to ask because I find things I missed all the time.

I would truly like to meet Kingathurhk, I have gone round and round with him her on GT, but I know I would enjoy have a cup of coffee, or a beer or 2 with him.

Would not hurt my feelings. I am pretty amiable in real life unless provoked without cause. And I do go through 2-3 cups of coffee a day, depending on the potency.

Do you have carry insurance, if so a call to them would be a quick way to know what the people defending you would suggest.

Yes, I carry Umbrella Insurance through USAA. Before that, I carried Professional Liability Insurance, as anyone performing an LEO job should unless they are foolish. They keep offering me my professional liability insurance, and I keep telling, 'What part of retired, do you guys not get.'
