Open Carry in Texas being brought up

@ 09:17 AM (17 months, 8 days ago)
In the news this AM, they want to allow Texans to be able to slap the ole shootin iron in plain sight on the hip.....I say go for it.....IF you go through the proper training and liscensure, and background checks, and still pass....damn right....I dont have the stats at this time but the ratio of gun crimes or accidents committed by liscensed gun holders was waaaaay lower than the unliscensed thug, or punk...so the whole "blood in the streets " arguement dont hold water for me....If I was a robbing thug punk ganger, and I seen a bunch of good ole boys and girls -packing heat in plain site and access I dont think I would go try and rob them....Because thugs are mostly lazy cowards anyhow.....and besides the more that try it and get their ass ventilated LEGALY by a citizen defending himself the less problems there would be.....and armed society is a polite society......riff

  1. When I lived and worked in and around I carried all the time. After moving to Po'dunk I haven't felt the need but really should carry because no place is immune from psychos.

    Once upon a time I happened into a grocery store out in deer hunting country during season. About half the customers had hog-leg 45s hanging off their hips. I never felt safer, as long as no disputes came up over the last 6 pack of Bud.

    In some parts of the country everybody is packin.' Bear country, border area, whatever.
