Higher permit fees and the costs of getting training not only reduce the number of permit holders, but they also make it so those who benefit the most from permits don&#8217;t get them. Both of those reasons work to reduce the benefit from right-to-carry laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Express-News columnist Scott Stroud wondered if this is yet another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/state\/as_we_become_more_divided_nuance_eludes_us_104255449.html\">sign of a polarized society:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The tendency to live, work and worship among people who agree with us has accelerated in recent years and shows no sign of waning. In that context, the notion that the two major political tribes harbor different views about guns isn&#8217;t shocking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Any time the media delves into the hot-button issue of guns, some readers are going to be suspicious of the finished product. But I enjoyed speaking with the gun owners and instructors who were quoted in the story and video &#8212; I think they figured out I wasn&#8217;t a stereotypical sensational journalist. Instructor Michael Arnold invited me to a concealed handgun class and I got to hear him paraphrase Sun Tzu as he told students the best way to win a fight is to avoid a fight. Brock Wilkerson at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aplacetoshoot.com\/\">A Place to Shoot<\/a> also invited me to a concealed handgun class at his shooting range. Wilkerson let me spend two afternoons at the range and I met his customers and cool employees. <\/p>\n<p>They helped us put the voices of real people in the story. Along the way, I leaned a lot &#8212; and hopefully, our readers did, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We teamed up with the Texas Tribune for this story that explores why
