The current concealed carry status, as of 2013, is forty-two shall-issue states, four unrestricted carry states (three also shall-issue), no states with concealed carry banned, and eight with restrictive discretionary carry。 德州也并不突出呀
德州在持枪方面其实一直是限制颇多的,这几年慢慢在减少,但是申请CHL还是耗时很长(平均3-4个月),花费不菲($200+, including certification class fee).
另外很多人认为德州是铁杆红州的印象并不正确,要知道直到90年代初州长都是民主党,六七十年代更是总统选举时的民主党票仓
