Re: Reduce Off-Limits Areas for Texas CHL’s

If people really believe The Democrats can accomplish so much with a 35% minority, they should work to change the make up of the Texas legislature to a 35% Republicans minority so the Republicans can finally get what they want. :lol: There is a big difference between what it takes to BLOCK a bill a...

Re: Reduce Off-Limits Areas for Texas CHL’s

Any updates? There sure seems to be a lot of buzz on open carry....but I know many folks who are 200 times more interested in this process. Only a small update. I/we gave up on the first Senator and it is now being considered by a Houston area Senator. Chas. Has there been any news on this matter? ...

Re: Campus Carry

I doubt that you will find any established person on this Forum that disagrees with the principle of it. :thumbs2: It looks to me (so far) that the chances of it passing this time are a bit better than last session. Going from "NONE" last session to "SLIM" this session. :shock: ...

Re: 2013 Knife Rights Bills

Douva, if you need proof, I can start a new thread tomorrow. I can call it "Anti-2A stories by the AP". I promise I will have no problems providing links to fill it up with. I'm NOT paranoid, I've just seen a LOT of anti-self-defense and anti-2A stories that came from the AP, and VERY, VE...

Re: Looking for Common Mans Analysis

Her statement was that, due to the employee policy, we could tell anyone that carry was not legal, and they would not be able to ever carry in a HD again. I'm pretty sure that if the person who told you concealed carry is forbidden in Home Depot has the authority to speak on behalf of all Texas Hom...

Re: Looking for Common Mans Analysis

If you're so unwavering in your support of open carry that you're willing to sacrifice the ability of others [/i] to carry handguns as they go about their day-to-day routines, aren't you simply living up to the stereotype that open carry proponents are more interested in making a political statement...

Re: Looking for Common Mans Analysis

I disagree that restricting concealed carry has anything to do with property rights. Unfortunately, the only opinion that matters is that of the Texas Legislature, and they've long held that restricting concealed carry at private businesses DOES have something to do with property rights (one of the...

Re: Looking for Common Mans Analysis

Now for those establishments that don’t put the sign up because of its “ugly nature” ; well we could be forking over good money to those that use their profits to support gun banning organizations and regulations. Putting a big ol’ sign on the front of your store that says “your gun money is no goo...

Re: Looking for Common Mans Analysis

If ‘we’ feel that, due to the overt nature of open carry, more companies will throw up a 30.06 well then that just show how that organization feels about the 2ndA. And then I can choose NOT to spend my money on those that DON’T support legal gun ownership. That's a great strategy if your intent in ...
