    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation

    Can you be prosecuted for recklessly killing or injuring an innocent third person while using deadly force?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Using deadly force can result in serious consequences, including the possibility of being prosecuted for recklessly causing harm or death to an innocent third person. This means that if someone uses deadly force without proper justification and unintentionally harms or kills an innocent bystander, they can be held legally responsible for their actions.

    Why should handguns be stored in a manner that prevents unauthorized access?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Handguns should be stored in a way that prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing them. This is important for safety reasons, as it helps to reduce the risk of accidents or misuse. By securely storing handguns, such as using locked cabinets or safes, responsible gun owners can ensure that only authorized individuals have access to them. This measure helps to prevent incidents of theft, accidental discharge, or unauthorized use, promoting overall safety and responsible gun ownership.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a magistrate or peace officer requests identification from a CHL holder, it is required for the CHL holder to display both their Texas driver's license (or Texas identification certificate) issued by the department and their CHL if they are carrying a handgun. This means that the CHL holder must present both forms of identification to comply with the demand from the magistrate or peace officer.

    • Tell the ticket-taker you are armed.

    • Immediately return to your vehicle and safely secure your handgun.

    Correct Answer
    A. Immediately return to your vehicle and safely secure your handgun.
    Explanation
    Carrying a handgun into a stadium or any public event is generally prohibited for safety reasons. It is important to prioritize the safety of oneself and others. Therefore, the correct course of action would be to immediately return to the vehicle and safely secure the handgun, ensuring it is not accessible to anyone unauthorized.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    You meet a friend in an establishment that has a large red “51” sign displayed inside the door. As a concealed handgun licensee, what should you do?

    • Do not tell anybody, and unload the gun.

    • Check the gun in with the bouncer.

    • Carry the gun inside, but make sure it is concealed.

    • Take the handgun back into your car and make sure it is locked away safely.

    Correct Answer
    A. Take the handgun back into your car and make sure it is locked away safely.
    Explanation
    Bringing a concealed handgun into an establishment that serves alcohol is generally prohibited by law. Seeing the large red "51" displayed inside the door indicates that the establishment is likely a bar, which means it is not appropriate to carry the gun inside. The safest and most responsible action would be to take the handgun back to the car and ensure it is securely locked away.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A concealed handgun licensee may allow an unlicensed person to carry his handgun or borrow his car with a handgun hidden within access of the driver.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A concealed handgun licensee cannot allow an unlicensed person to carry his handgun or borrow his car with a handgun hidden within access of the driver. This would be a violation of the law and could result in legal consequences for both parties involved. It is important to follow the regulations and restrictions set forth for the possession and use of firearms to ensure safety and compliance with the law.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    If you are carrying your handgun, you don't need to carry your concealed handgun license. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because carrying a handgun without a concealed handgun license is illegal in many jurisdictions. A concealed handgun license is required to legally carry a concealed handgun in public. Therefore, if you are carrying your handgun, it is necessary to also carry your concealed handgun license to comply with the law.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A private business can prohibit CCW holders from carrying firearms on its premises.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Private businesses have the right to establish policies restricting firearms on their property. Many states enforce "No Guns Allowed" signage, which legally prevents CCW holders from carrying inside designated locations. Violating such restrictions can lead to trespassing charges or other legal consequences. While some businesses allow concealed carry, others, especially banks, malls, and entertainment venues, often prohibit firearms. CCW holders must be aware of and respect private property rights to avoid potential legal issues. Even with a valid permit, carrying where prohibited could result in removal from the premises or revocation of the CCW permit.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Even if you are justified in using deadly force, can you still be sued in civil court?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In civil court, the standard of proof is lower than in criminal court. Even if you are justified in using deadly force in a criminal case, you can still be sued in civil court by the person or their family. The outcome of a civil lawsuit may result in financial compensation being awarded to the injured party, regardless of the criminal justification. Therefore, it is possible to be sued in civil court even if you were justified in using deadly force.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Is staying calm and responding with understanding the best way to neutralize negative behavior in another person?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Yes, staying calm and responding with understanding is one of the best ways to neutralize negative behavior in another person. When someone is acting negatively, reacting with anger or frustration can escalate the situation. Instead, maintaining composure and showing empathy can help de-escalate tensions. A calm response allows for better communication, helps the other person feel heard, and increases the chances of resolving the issue constructively. Understanding the root cause of their behavior also enables you to address it effectively rather than simply reacting to it.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Suppose a child, a person under 17 years of age, gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm and is seriously injured or killed after discharging the firearm. In that case, the person who failed to secure the firearm can be charged with a class A misdemeanor. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm and is seriously injured or killed after discharging the firearm, the person who failed to secure the firearm can be charged with a class A misdemeanor. This means that if someone does not properly secure a firearm and a child is harmed as a result, they can be held legally responsible for their negligence.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Drawing a firearm in self-defense is only legal if the threat is immediate and unavoidable.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The legal use of a firearm in self-defense requires the presence of an immediate and unavoidable threat. Most states follow a standard of "reasonable belief" that the individual was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. If a threat is not immediate—such as a verbal argument without physical danger—drawing a weapon could be considered brandishing or even assault. Courts evaluate self-defense cases based on necessity and proportionality, meaning the response must match the level of danger. Any misuse of a firearm can result in criminal charges, making it crucial for CCW holders to act responsibly.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    When faced with a conflict, why is it important to respond rather than react?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In a conflict situation, it is important to respond rather than react to what the other person says. Reacting often involves an immediate and emotional response, which can escalate the conflict and make it difficult to find a solution. On the other hand, responding involves taking the time to listen and understand the other person's perspective before formulating a thoughtful and constructive response. This approach can help de-escalate the conflict and promote effective communication and problem-solving. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Deadly force is justified to prevent the imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated robbery.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Deadly force is justified to prevent the imminent commission of certain serious crimes such as aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated robbery. This means that if someone is about to commit any of these crimes, using deadly force to stop them is considered justified.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    The Texas CHL is good in Texas and those states with which we have reciprocity.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Texas CHL (Concealed Handgun License) is valid and recognized in the state of Texas. Additionally, it is also accepted in other states that have a reciprocity agreement with Texas. This means that individuals with a Texas CHL can legally carry a concealed handgun in those states as well. Therefore, the statement "The Texas CHL is good in Texas and those states with which we have reciprocity" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    After September 1, 2007, a person can legally possess and carry a handgun in a motor vehicle that is owned and is under the control of the person. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    After September 1, 2007, it became legal for individuals to possess and carry a handgun in a motor vehicle that they own and have control over. This means that as long as the person meets the legal requirements for owning and carrying a handgun, they can legally have it in their vehicle.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    In a conflict situation, how does remaining in the "Adult" state help maintain self-respect and professionalism?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Remaining in the "Adult" state during a conflict means maintaining a calm and rational mindset, focusing on problem-solving rather than getting caught up in emotions. By doing so, individuals can communicate effectively, listen to others' perspectives, and find mutually beneficial solutions. This approach helps to preserve self-respect and dignity, as it avoids resorting to aggressive or passive-aggressive behavior that may damage relationships or escalate the conflict further. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    A concealed handgun license does not expire and remains valid until revoked.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A concealed handgun license does not remain valid until revoked. Instead, it has an expiration date, and individuals must renew their license within a certain timeframe to ensure its continued validity.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    If a concealed handgun license is not renewed within one year of the date of expiration, the applicant must go through the entire licensing procedure all over again.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a concealed handgun license is not renewed within one year of the date of expiration, the applicant must go through the entire licensing procedure all over again. This means that if the license is not renewed within the specified timeframe, the applicant will lose their current license and will have to start from scratch, including submitting a new application, undergoing background checks, and completing any required training or testing.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    If you have a concealed handgun license and keep a revolver in your car's glove compartment, what should you do when stopped by a police officer?

    • Roll down the window before the officer approaches.

    • Keep both hands in plain sight on top of the steering wheel.

    • Give the officer your driver's license and your concealed handgun license.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    When stopped by a police officer, it is important to ensure your actions are clear and non-threatening. Rolling down the window before the officer approaches allows for better communication and shows cooperation. Keeping both hands in plain sight on top of the steering wheel demonstrates that you have no intention of reaching for a weapon and helps to ease any potential tension. Giving the officer both your driver's license and concealed handgun license is necessary to comply with their request for identification and to inform them that you are carrying a concealed weapon. Therefore, all of the above actions should be taken when stopped by a police officer.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    You are traveling to another state where your Texas concealed handgun license is valid. How should you legally transport your handgun?

    • Hide it in your luggage.

    • Tell the security officer that you have a license.

    • Disassemble and put the parts in a different section of the luggage.

    • Unload it, place it in a lockable case, and check it at the airline counter outside the secured area of the airport.

    Correct Answer
    A. Unload it, place it in a lockable case, and check it at the airline counter outside the secured area of the airport.
    Explanation
    To take along your handgun on a flight to another state where your Texas concealed handgun license is valid, you should unload it, place it in a lockable case, and check it at the airline counter outside the secured area of the airport. This is the correct answer because it follows the proper guidelines for transporting firearms on a flight. By unloading the handgun and placing it in a lockable case, it ensures that the firearm is secure and inaccessible during the flight. Checking it at the airline counter outside the secured area of the airport ensures that it is properly declared and handled according to airline and TSA regulations.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    A certified handgun instructor is allowed to waive training requirements for people he knows are proficient. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A certified handgun instructor is not allowed to waive training requirements for people he knows are proficient. This is because the training requirements are in place to ensure the safety and proper handling of firearms. Even if the instructor knows someone is proficient, they still need to go through the required training to ensure they are knowledgeable about the laws, regulations, and safety protocols associated with handguns.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    A felony conviction makes an individual permanently ineligible for a CHL. A person can only become eligible if the conviction is legally expunged from his or her record or is pardoned for the conviction (unless it falls under differed adjudication exemption).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A felony conviction permanently disqualifies an individual from obtaining a CHL (Concealed Handgun License). The only way for someone with a felony conviction to become eligible for a CHL is if the conviction is legally expunged from their record or if they are pardoned for the conviction. This means that unless the conviction falls under the differed adjudication exemption, a felony conviction will indeed make an individual permanently ineligible for a CHL.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    The Texas Department of Public Safety may disclose information on a CHL holder to a Criminal Justice Agency.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Texas Department of Public Safety has the authority to share information about a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) holder with a Criminal Justice Agency. This means that if a CHL holder is involved in a criminal investigation or any other matter related to law enforcement, their information can be disclosed to relevant authorities. This helps ensure transparency and cooperation between different agencies in maintaining public safety.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    In a concealed carry scenario, it is always legally permissible to use deadly force if you feel threatened, regardless of the specific circumstances.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The use of deadly force is highly regulated and typically only permissible under certain conditions, such as when there is an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. Feeling threatened alone may not justify the use of deadly force, as laws vary by jurisdiction and often require a reasonable and proportional response to the perceived threat.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    You completed the required paperwork and successfully passed the FBI background check to buy a pistol from a federally licensed dealer. You don't need a CHL to keep the gun at home. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If you have completed the required paperwork and passed the FBI background check to buy a pistol from a federally licensed dealer, it means you have met all the necessary legal requirements to possess a firearm. In this case, you do not need a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) to keep the gun at home. The possession of the gun at home is covered by the completion of the required paperwork and background check. Therefore, the statement "You don't need a CHL to keep the gun at home" is true.

    Rate this question:

    • Do not need to pay attention to your surroundings

    • Should be aware of the consequences of using deadly force

    • Have the same arrest privileges as police officers

    Correct Answer
    A. Should be aware of the consequences of using deadly force
    Explanation
    If you are licensed to carry a handgun, you should be aware of the consequences of using deadly force. This means understanding the legal and ethical implications of using a firearm in self-defense or any other situation. Carrying a handgun comes with a great responsibility, and knowing the potential consequences of using deadly force can help ensure that you make informed decisions and act responsibly in any given situation. It is important to understand the laws and regulations surrounding the use of firearms to avoid any legal complications or harm to yourself or others.

    If a concealed handgun licensee is arrested and taken into custody, the arresting officer is not authorized to seize the license and handgun.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False. When a concealed handgun licensee is arrested and taken into custody, the arresting officer is authorized to seize both the license and the handgun. This is done to ensure the safety of the officer and others involved in the arrest, as well as to prevent any potential harm or misuse of the firearm.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    A concealed handgun licensee must notify the Texas Department of Public Safety of a change of address or name within how many days?

    • 30

    • 60

    • 90

    • 120

    Correct Answer
    A. 30
    Explanation
    A concealed handgun licensee in Texas is required by law to notify the Texas Department of Public Safety of a change of address or name within 30 days. This ensures that the department has updated and accurate information about the licensee, allowing them to maintain a current and reliable database of individuals who hold concealed handgun licenses in the state. Failure to notify the department within the specified timeframe may result in penalties or legal consequences for the licensee.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    As of September 1, 2007, under what circumstances is it legal to carry a handgun?

    • On the premises of a race tract

    • In the console of your car (if you don't meet the four exceptions).

    • On the premises of a polling place

    • In or into the secured area of an airport

    Correct Answer
    A. In the console of your car (if you don't meet the four exceptions).
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "In the console of your car (if you don't meet the four exceptions)." This means that it is legal to carry a handgun in the console of your car, as long as you do not meet the four exceptions. The four exceptions are not mentioned in the question, so we cannot determine what they are. However, if someone meets any of the four exceptions, it would not be legal for them to carry a handgun in the console of their car.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    It is legal to carry a concealed firearm in all 50 states with a single CCW permit.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A single CCW permit does not grant the right to carry in all 50 states because firearm regulations vary widely. While some states have reciprocity agreements, recognizing permits from other states, not all states participate. Certain states, like California and New York, have strict gun laws that do not acknowledge out-of-state permits. Additionally, federal laws impose restrictions on concealed carry in specific locations, such as federal buildings. To legally carry across multiple states, a CCW holder must research reciprocity agreements and obtain additional permits where necessary to remain compliant with all applicable laws.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    If a CHL holder does not notify the department of a change of address within 30 days of that change, this may result in a 30-day suspension of the CHL.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a CHL holder fails to inform the department of a change in address within 30 days, it can lead to a 30-day suspension of the CHL. This means that it is important for CHL holders to promptly notify the department of any changes in their address to avoid any penalties or suspensions.

    Rate this question:

  • 35.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An employer can prevent employees with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) from carrying handguns into the workplace by including a statement in the company policy manual or posting signs at all entrances.

    The DPS does not release the mailing list of concealed handgun licenses.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    The statement is true because the DPS (Department of Public Safety) does not disclose or make public the mailing list of concealed handgun licenses. This means that the personal information of individuals who possess concealed handgun licenses is protected and not shared with the general public.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a concealed handgun license, excluding military exceptions?

    • 16

    • 18

    • 21

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 21
    Explanation
    The minimum age to apply for a concealed handgun license, excluding the military exception, is 21. This age requirement ensures that individuals applying for a concealed handgun license have reached a certain level of maturity and responsibility before being granted the privilege to carry a concealed weapon. It is important to have this age restriction in place to prioritize public safety and reduce the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands.

    You are attending a school conference with your child’s teacher. Is it legal to leave your handgun locked in your car in the school parking lot?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Federal law prohibits the possession of firearms in school zones, which includes school parking lots, with some exceptions for individuals licensed by the state or local government to carry a firearm. However, the specifics of this matter vary from state to state. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the local laws in your area regarding firearm possession on school grounds, as well as any regulations or restrictions set by the school itself. In many cases, it is illegal to have a firearm, even if locked in a car, on school property, and doing so can lead to serious legal consequences.

    In effective communication, the four key elements are the sender, message, receiver, and feedback. Which of these is most important to ensure that the message is received correctly?

    • Sender

    • Feedback

    • Receiver

    • Message

    Correct Answer
    A. Feedback
    Explanation
    Feedback is the most important element to ensure that the message was received or delivered correctly in a conversation. Feedback provides an opportunity for the sender to gauge whether the message was understood as intended by the receiver. It allows for clarification, confirmation, and adjustment of the message if necessary. Without feedback, there is no way to ensure effective communication and understanding between the sender and receiver.

    Before using deadly force, which of the following elements is not required to be considered?

    • Innocent Bystanders

    • Weather conditions

    • Number of attackers

    • Weapons

    Correct Answer
    A. Weather conditions
    Explanation
    When considering the use of deadly force, the element of weather conditions does not need to be considered. The decision to use deadly force should primarily be based on factors such as the presence of innocent bystanders, the number of attackers, and the type of weapons involved. Weather conditions, although they may affect the situation in some ways, do not directly impact the decision to use deadly force.

    The CHL holder may not be suspended if he or she fails to return a previously issued license after the modified license has been received in the mail.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The correct answer is True. A Concealed Handgun License (CHL) holder is not subject to suspension solely for failing to return a previously issued license after receiving a modified one in the mail. While it is generally required to return the outdated license for record-keeping and to prevent misuse, failure to do so does not automatically result in suspension. However, non-compliance may lead to administrative action or penalties. License holders should always follow state regulations and return old licenses when required to avoid any complications with law enforcement or licensing authorities.

    There is no "legal limit" of intoxication for a CHL holder carrying a handgun after drinking alcohol.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In many jurisdictions, concealed handgun license (CHL) holders are subject to legal limits on intoxication similar to those for driving. Carrying a firearm while intoxicated can lead to serious legal consequences, including the loss of the CHL and potential criminal charges. It's essential to check specific state or local laws, as regulations can vary.

    A concealed handgun license may be revoked when the licensee fails to notify the department of a change of address only if the license has been previously suspended three times for failure to notify the department of a change of address. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A concealed handgun license may be revoked when the licensee fails to notify the department of a change of address only if the license has been previously suspended three times for failure to notify the department of a change of address. This means that if the license has not been suspended three times for this reason, the license cannot be revoked solely for failing to notify the department of a change of address. Therefore, the statement is false.
