How, exactly do you "Bully" a zoo? Knock it down and take its lunch money?

Apparently just insisting that the zoo follow the law is enough. Imagine the angst if it went to court and they got a $10,000/day wedgie?

But, but, but... Then that wouldn't be us "Gun Extremists" (tm) doing the bullying, it would be the legislature and courts doing it.

Protest made the news.

Couldn't they have a gun buster sign? No illegal guns in the zoo?

Says the bullies. Informing someone what they need to do to comply with a law is quite different from threatening a business into doing something they don't have to by any law or else. I have no use for MDA, Not even entertainment.

It would seem that they see the "State of Texas" as a bunch of extremists. They didn't mention that it was law either it seems...

You see, to them, the law only goes one way. All anyone was doing was to ask that the city follow the LAW. But the anti-gun fanatics / extremists (if they can use those 2 terms, well, it goes both ways) only see them apply to what they want. They don't care that you can't pick and choose what laws to follow. They also aren't interested in or capable of any kind of reasonable intelligent discussion.

Never have been, never will be.
The sentence in blue says it all!

No gun signs are back up: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/ho ... er-premium

Edit: sorry, I was on my phone and missed the new thread.

Well, all righty then. Let's take this new law out for a spin and see what kind of teeth it really has.

I'm so tired of the moms demand action crap. If those moms are being robbed, they are gonna be calling the cops (provided they even can), and who is gonna show up, a cop, with a gun. Moronic.

Edit: Oh heres an idea. Lets make drugs illegal because that will surely get them off the streets.. oh.. yea it didn't help much. / goes off to start Dad's Demand Guns

"The zoo, Wallace added, “maintains an Education Department that employs 17 professional educators who develop and deliver educational programming on a daily basis at the Zoo.” "

So does that make gun stores and ranges educational institutes since they teach gun safety?

Yes, but only if they do it for the children....

Actually, in the long run, this may be a good thing for us. I do not believe that any zoo would meet the definition of an educational institution as intended int he law BUT it is a term that needs a definition. And this case is just about the perfect argument for us (through TSRA) to get some legislators to look at the law and clarify exactly what they intended.

Is a truck driving school an educational institution? What about a real estate school? How would these differ from University of Phoenix in the eyes of the law? All of them are privately owned, for profit, and lead to some type of certificate or licensing. UofP is accredited for college but the law does not require that. The zoo does teach people but does not lead to a certificate or license. Is it an educational institution? How can you say no? What criterion define "educational institution"?

It is time to clarify exactly what the law is meant to say. Maybe if we get a few legislators upset enough, we can fix this problem in the law for all of these situations.

The garbage we're seeing from zoos, libraries and multi-use government buildings exemplify the need to repeal all off-limits for CHLs. The continuing intellectual dishonesty of local officials should be, and I believe will be, insulting to legislators. Perhaps CHLs United will be relaunched in a different format. It's time for this crap to end!!
