Texas Conceal Carry Class?
Reading the TX DPS website it states that as long as you use a .32cal or larger you can qualify with it for the class of CCW. Has anyone tested with a .32cal or larger? I thought it was mandatory to have a 9mm before testing for CCW has this now been changed, or is it up to the instructor of the class on what calibur he prefers someone to qualify with?

umm...
I certified with what I carry...certainly not a 9mm. For security officers who carry concealed on duty (private protection) in Texas, you must test with a 9mm.

I never heard of that '9mm rule'. I cert'd with a .45 semi-automatic. During my cert session, I think just about every popular caliber was represented... .40, .45, 9mm, .357, .38.

IIRC, when the law was first passed, the minimum bullet size was 9mm/.355" like .38SPL & .380ACP. With .32 caliber guns becoming more popular, pressure was put to change the caliber floor to .32--a good thing, IMHO....

I tested with a 1911 style .45 ACP. One person in the class used a BDA in .380, most of the others used 9mm or a few used .40 S&W. I think we had one guy that use a pocket pistol in .32 auto also.

Didn't realize the law changed from what it started at.
I didn't realize that they had changed the law I remember when it first came out and they stated it must be a 9mm on the minimum size of caliber. I didn't realize it was posted on the TDPS website, of the change in laws.
This is cool. |
