AUSTIN As a combat veteran, a former police officer and now a certified firearms instructor, Jorge DeLeon says Texas lawmakers are gambling with innocent lives if they remove the requirement that people who carry handguns in public be properly trained. If you take away the only training we get as a civilian right now, it s going to be worse. DeLeon said outside the Texas Capitol on Tuesday. I say we should (require) more training to the civilians out there. We cannot let people out there without education handling weapons.
DeLeon, who lost his right leg while serving in the Army in Afghanistan, was joined by several current and former law enforcement officers and license-to-carry instructors who oppose House Bill 1911. The measure, by East Texas Republican James White, remove the licensing requirement for law-abiding Texans to carry handguns in public.
