Shoot me the facebook group. I bet that tard is also on Reddit.
He's also so full of shit his eyes are brown. Texas does not require any specific firearms for the range qual for a commissioned security license (what they call the armed license) - it just has to be .38spl or 9mm minimum caliber, and if you qual with a revolver you can *only* carry a revolver. If you qualify with a semi, you can carry anything that is at least a .38 / 9mm.
The shotgun qualification is so stupid it shouldn't exist. There is *no* actual score required. You demonstrate you can shoulder and shoot the thing IIRC 5 times. That's IT. Don't have to hit the paper. Don't have to keep all rounds on the paper. Just demonstrate you can operate, shoulder, and shoot. And yet the bastards in the legislature won't update the law to allow rifles.
A level 4 license is no tougher, in fact it mostly deals with the EP side of things and less of the use of force or any of that - as you have to have a level 3 (uniformed armed) license. Your gun is not added to your license. DPS literally doesn't give a damn what you carry, so long as it meets the miniumum standards. And you cannot carry a replica or non-functional gun, because that's actually a crime. Texas' laws are kinds stupid.
More stupidity on that end - IF you are working an EP detail and you're plain clothes you can't just be low signature (ie polo / slacks but exposed gun) - your firearm *must* be concealed at all times unless you're using it. IF you're working a regular armed, uniformed gig, your firearm *must* be exposed at all times (so when it rains you better have a jacket slot that lets your gun ride outside, because if you put a rain jacket over the gun you're committing a crime, and you cannot carry a concealed backup gun)
Honestly when I saw the title, I thought it would be about this guy:
