Why did you feel the need to add the "(banned)" modifer. I want open-carry. Are you going to ban me, too?

Re: Ft Worth Startlegram Article on "The Utah Problem"

His statement proves that the license is just a revenue generator, and really does not do anything "with an eye to prevent crime".

And the criteria for the question was carefully worded to make everyone want to answer the poll that way. Polls are like statistics. You can make a poll result in any outcome you wish.

Re: Open carry with holster requirements

A crazy idea just popped into my head :evil2: so thought I'd share and add a wrinkle to the ongoing open carry debate. If I understand police regulations correctly (one of you LEOs please correct me if my assumptions are wrong), the department you work for can not only mandate the type of gun you c...

Re: Open-Carry Poll

I voted YES. Is anyone surprised?

Rights are rights, regardless of what a sign says.

Re: OC v. CC -- Hatfields v. McCoys All Over Again

That's because you don't understand that the state is the people. Convince the people and the state will change. The recent elections should have made that obvious. The only thing that has been made obvious is that nobody was happy with the legislators in Washington - and that spilled over into Tex...

Re: OC v. CC -- Hatfields v. McCoys All Over Again

I don't recall LSCDL being affiliated with OCDO OR TXCHL. In fact, I'm probably a lot more extreme in my views than anyone in any of those groups. I'm a computer programmer, and I see things as a series of ones and zeros - either on or off. Right now, I see the State of Texas as infringing on my con...

Re: OC v. CC -- Hatfields v. McCoys All Over Again

People advocating for "felon carry" are over the top, though there are a number of crimes classified as felonies that arguably should be lesser crimes. I'm not advocating it, I'm just citing the absurdity of making a law that only affects law-abiding citizens. All of our gun control laws ...

Re: OC v. CC -- Hatfields v. McCoys All Over Again

Wow - I'm famous. :) I want constitutional carry. Period. Why are we - as voters afraid of anything (referring to more 30.06 postings)? has it actually come to that? We're "afraid" of politicians? We're "afraid" of corporations? I'd much rather have my constitutional rights firml...

Re: Remington 700 on CNBC

CNBC is running a 1hr episode on the dangers of the Remington 700. It's on now. I caught part of it the other day. The piece seems to suggest that, due to a design flaw, there have been accidental discharge problems with the 700 since its inception. Are there any gunsmiths out there who would like ...

Re: TX rep to author OC

Mr. Cotton has a plan to push OC already drawn up. There are a number of additional groups OUTSIDE TSRA that want OC. It's time for everybody involved to man up, throw down, share info, and get this thing underway. Why is our tenure as Texas citizens even an issue? Why is the restoration of our 2nd ...

Re: TX rep to author OC

This argument isn't about "gun rights". It's about *constitutional rights*. I think with very very few exceptions, anyone 18 and over has the god-given right to keep/bear arms - even felons. Passing a law saying that felons cannot legally own a gun is absurd, due mostly to the nature of b...

Re: Anti-Violence and Weapons Policy at my work

30.06 makes no mention of premises so how the company or the the state define the term is irrelevant in this context. The "premises" debate is centered around whether or not a parking lot is considered part of the posted/prohibited area. According to the State of Texas, "premises&quo...
