[quote user="passengerfan"] <p>For those that are concerned for there safety in Public transit I would suggest taking a recognized firearm safety course and applying for a concealed weapon permit. They are not easy to get and if you have ever been in court for anything relating to domestic violence or similar you can forget applying. After applying it takes about two months for the application to be approved and you better have a good reason why you need one. </p><p>I recently received my firearm safety instructor license and at the first class I am an instructor in was amazed at the number of the so called weaker sex enrolled. The second class will be this Tuesday and many will be firing a weapon for the first time. Other instructors have advised me these classes are continuing a steady increase in enrollment and that in the last year alone they have doubled, and there is a waiting list for every class. The drop out rate is near zero and successful completion is over 90%. There are five licensed instructors conducting each class and the class size is limited to 25 per class. At the present time there are three classes per week and the course length is seven weeks with each class of two hours per week. There is probably four hours per week of home reading required in order to pass the course. At the final class there is a written test of 120 questions and firing test that must score 70% to pass. </p><p>Al - in - Stockton</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>It is against the law to carry any sort of firearm on a public transit vehicle of any kind in Texas. </p>
