When I got my original CHL ( I'm on my 4th renewal ) our instructor was an ex-Secret Service guy. And, like all the rest of the instructors, he had to go thru several days of training at the DPS training center. But, one of the things he saud early on was that they were told that the State of Texas wanted to arm as many people as possible because the state knew that there weren't enough cetified LE's in the whole state to head off a full offensive or a coordinated offensive by one or more of the cartels. And it would take all hands on deck to stop 'em. We just witnessed the greatest possible example of how true that could be.
