many in this country are denied a Concealed Carry Permit because their local sheriff will not issue a CCW permit to anyone who can't demonstrate a need to have one. Far too many in law enforcement (they ALL have taken the oath of office) fail to accept that self protection is a valid reason to have a CCW. Get ready folks, this is exactly where the globalists in the US government are taking the Second Amendment Right to possess firearms. IMHO; At some point in the not too distant future, anyone who owns or wants to purchase a firearm will need to show a valid reason (valid reason to be interpreted by the government) to possess and or to purchase a firearm of any kind. Give them an inch and they will eventually take it all.
Texas is shall issue.

Demonstrate need acceptable to law enforcement for simple possession of a firearm? The only place that’s true is New York City, and that’s for handguns only.
I totally agree that gungrabber’s ultimate goal is confiscation such as in Britain & Australia. But their political systems are different from ours; legislation to confiscate involves a much more difficult process in America.
The most scary laws right now are the Red Flag turn-in-your-neighbor laws in certain blue states. But shall issue CCW is the law in most states.
Noncompliance to registration of scary black rifles in those same states is about ten percent; LEOs just don’t have the resources to go knocking on doors. Stopping & searching random vehicles equals police state and hatred of LEOs by citizens; they are not the Gestapo.
