Have you talked to your local rep about this provision. I don’t believe in profiling except in the case of them knowing the person has a record that might accelerate in the future.

I was never able to relate till now, sadly. Plus I’ve lead a sheltered life here in Texas. There is so much anti-white sentiment now, I feel that I’m constantly racially profiled on social media.

I agree with you on provision 3.

I just feel that gun safety needs a hands-on approach such as we had in our high school rifle club. But it’s a good start.

The fun part - I have actually been profiled for being a motorcyclist far more than my race. Which you can’t really tell until I take my helmet off.

The not so fun part - back when Boomers were more a part of police forces than they are now, apparently the majority of officers I encountered seemed to think (like, well, many other Boomers) that all motorcyclists were scumbags straight out of Easy Rider or the other anti-motorcyclist 70s movies. No matter how attired or what they were riding.

That would be great....for HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. I'm 73 years old and grew up with guns of all sorts in rural south Louisiana. I need more safety training like a boar needs tits. An online course on the intricacies of the law, OTOH would be a very good idea, but not as a "requirement" to carry, but mere good sense to do.
