bill of sale.
I’m not a lawyer, or government official that is involved in the discussion. I only know what I read, and all references within HB1911 to licensed carry are removed from the bill. This indicates to me, that with constitutional carry, the LTC program is no longer necessary to continue. If the TX LTC becomes invalid, then a purchaser from an FFL would only accept your TX DL for identification, and you would go through the NICS check, just like every other non LTC holder. As far as the F2F sale, that’s just how I choose to be responsible in selling. I won’t sell to you if you don’t have a LTC, and there is a bill of sale. That’s just how I choose to do my due diligence with who I choose to sell a firearm to.

Throwing my .02 in here. First, I am not an instructor. I’ve had my LTC for many years when it was a CHL. I carry every day. My biggest concern as was expressed earlier, is on purchases. I get the whole constitutional carry push, I really do. If this passes, and the LTC is obsolete, then to me, this is a huge step backward for the purchasing process. I do not want to have the feds knowing that I purchased from an ffl, and what that purchase is. Secondly, now I’m uncomfortable selling F2F with no knowledge of “Is this person a felon or not”

No. Absolutely everything you said here is wrong.
If something (say, licensed carry) is not specifically addressed by legislation, then that legislation does not affect it. Licensed carry will still be around, exactly as it is, just optional for those who wish to carry within the borders of Texas. Want to go to another state which has reciprocity with Texas and carry? You'll need a Texas LTC. Want to waste less time on background checks when you buy from your local gun dealer? Whip out your Texas LTC. That will stay the same with unlicensed carry.
And requiring a bill of sale doesn't make you "responsible" or show "due diligence", it demonstrates your lack of legal knowledge.
So add a requirement for a public high school class open to adults for safe, moral, and responsible gun handling. We gotta get creative with the bargaining table!Overall, I'm for constitutional carry. But, when I took my license class a long time ago, there was a female student that obviously never held a handgun before the class. At the range, the instructor had to show her how to load and work the gun. I don't know if she passed the class or not (probably not), but I would NOT want a person like that with a handgun next to me at a restaurant. Because of that particular incident, I think some sort of training should be required.
If there is a a "but" in the sentence after you say you are pro 2A, You are not pro 2A. These instructors are pro dollar. They are afraid they are going to lose there income. There would be even more chances to teach and earn money. They could easily adapt and continue to do what they are doing now. There are still going to be people willing and wanting to take classes and improve their skill set. You get woke you go broke. Stop giving these guys your money. I am telling everybody I know not to use the instructors that are on that list from my area.
I went to a gun fighting class where one attendee was giving it the the bigun’ about being some sort of bad ass and then proceeded to try and put his round in his mag backwards! I’m assuming he had to have had them in the correct way to pass his shooting proficiency test. What happened between those two events. I like the concept of Constitutional Carry, but the reality is another thing. How many a-holes do you come across daily who passed a driving test at some point in their lives? Now imagine all those knotheads with a gun and no training.Overall, I'm for constitutional carry.
