I was just about to post roughly the same thing...baldeagle wrote:"I do not believe that my right to personal safety should be infringed upon by someone's right to carry."
The ignorance in this country is beyond profound. Your supposed right to personal safety doesn't stop a criminal from shooting you, bozo.

Re: Call-To-Action: Hearings on Numerous House Bills
I can't watch. The ignorance and blatent falsehoods being spouted by those opposed makes me want to throw my monitor.
Being a former US Air Force member myself, that one guy testifying about his AF experience, and not wanting to be 'tasked as the first line of defense' at a school made my blood boil.
Apparently, he thinks during a mass shooting, that instead of defending yourself, and possibly missing, since according to him 'most people miss their first shots', that you should sit there and just accept your death.
Sorry, but I'd rather have someone with no 'advanced first responder' training and a firearm, and a CHANCE of stopping the attacker, however slim, than sitting there resigned to death.

Re: Call-To-Action: Hearings on Numerous House Bills
Does anyone have a list of email addresses for the committee members?
They usually follow the firstname.lastname@house.state.tx.us standard
If someone puts together a email listing, I'll gladly spam it out to them, but I don't have the time or ability to make calls while I'm at work all day.
