Pushing for open carry in Texas.......

Post by JRG »

I have no problem with open carry, but I prefer to carry concealed. :txflag:

Yes. Like a SA license allows me to carry a semiauto or a revolver.
When in doubt
Vote them out!

Yeah, but nothing new is being said, just a rehashing of what has been stated repeatedly for the last few years.

I just started reading "More Guns, Less Crime" by John R. Lott Jr.
I believe I now like the idea of concealed carry. His argument is
that some BGs make determinations who might be carrying before
committing crimes against persons.

That would probably be more popular than the Texas Don't Carry and Leave it in the Car Forum. "rlol"
