too many ignorant people here for that. Take the damned class and go through the background check

I took the class in LA and TX. Honestly, any ignorant person can pass the test without effort. In fact, my TX instructor said he's never seen a person fail. It takes a personal desire to know and understand the laws. I find the classes valuable, but if I wanted to just check the box, I could.

As far as the background check, what's the point. You still aren't legally allowed to constitutionally carry if you have a felony or some other issue that would trigger a background check failure. So, if you decide to carry, then get caught, you are breaking the law and face the consequences. Criminals will break the law and continue to do it even if the legal requirement is in place. This law doesn't give anyone who couldn't attain the right before eligibility to carry. It just removes the paperwork and red tape.

appreciate the training and instruction and believe it’s something every gun owner should do but I got really tired of the paperwork.

I still advocate for getting the license even though I'm all for removing the requirement. Businesses still have the right to restrict carrying in their establishment. And it definitely happens here in TX. You will see "No Unlicensed Carry" signs. Plus there's state reciprocity. Even some states that have constitutional carry only extend it to citizens of that state. So you'd need the license.
