You can't carry a mace, even with a CHL. See 46.01 (1) and 46.02 (a)
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

I dunno, with Obamacare facing the inevitable knife of constitutional authority, it may be the time to get some cases in place that are true to the constitutionalist argument.Sangiovese wrote:Jumping Frog wrote:It is a difference of opinion that could end up ruining some unsuspecting lives.

It would be nothing new. We already have federal law based on this very way of thinking.jason237m wrote:I can see a group saying the steel, tools, etc. crossed state lines to build the supressor and is therefore open to federal regulation. It's extemely strained logic but we've seen worse from big government, central planning types.
