if a texas criminal court judge doesn't want to follow case precedent, he/she can easily be embarassed and overturned by an appeal.

if charged for UCW, you can choose a jury trial or bench trial. Living in the DFW area, I wouldn't trust 12 idiots to tie their shoes right, much less be able to rule on fundamental rights and judicial precedent. I'd go for the bench trial, then throw mcdonald at the judge with a total ban being un...

No Chas, I'm not originally from Texas. I'm originally from Illinois and I never realized just how bad things were in Illinois until I got to texas in Late 97. I used to think TX politics was alot different than TX, now, not so much. It's still run by lobbying groups and special interests. Maybe tha...

Why should the mother driving her kids to school and herself to work unarmed because of her employer’s parking lot policy support your open-carry effort if you do not care enough about her life to get involved and help her reach her goal? Why should the adult college student support open-carry when...

I hate politics. . . . I predicted last year that any opencarry initiative would be met with resistance from TSRA, and it's my belief that we were undermined by them in the political field. I see you are now spreading this garbage on OpenCarry.org and you've even added Students for Concealed Carry ...

We at opencarry didn't go the 'texas method' of lobbying, or work with TSRA, or do ANY of the normal and accepted practices of working gun legislation through it's system. We were, and are, rogues to the machine and therefore should be ignored, admonished, or thrown under the bus as radicals. I won...

I hate politics. So do I. Sen. Wentworth isn't my senator, so I don't really have a dog in his hunt for a seat next election cycle, but I do have serious issue with his remarks. It seems that the lessons of history never get learned, as it always remains the same atmosphere when it comes to changin...

I never should have posted that first reply and I apologize for doing so. I deleted it, but obviously not before you saw it. Chas. Charles, I had a nice post all set up to answer your replies, but it seems to have gone away. I'll make do with a short follow up instead. no apology necessary. I shoul...

Charles, I had a nice post all set up to answer your replies, but it seems to have gone away. I'll make do with a short follow up instead. Can you provide an explanation of where you have gotten the feeling that CHL folks consider themselves elite? Is that your rationale for open-carry? whether it's...

Are those "Yahoos" going to go through the same screening that the CHL "yahoos" are subjected to? Open carry = no licensing fee? Great. Are CHLers going to get the same pricing schedule? Nothing you have said has changed my opinion regarding open carry. In fact, the entire post ...

In the last 4 years since i've been posting on numerous gun rights boards, two years on this one, I'm now more embarrassed than ever to live in TX or even call myself a Texan. Most of the people I've talked to, on boards or in person, have no concept of what is actually a right and what is governmen...
