Texas is one of the most populated states in the US, and more than 1 million of its people are active holders of hand and long guns. The state’s gun regulations usually focus on controlling gun-carrying rather than prohibiting gun ownership. The Texas constitution grants every Texan the freedom to “keep and carry weapons mostly in the legal defense of himself or the State.” But, it also provides the government the authority to “regulate the wearing of arms” to avoid harm. This means that people can legally keep and carry a firearm in their houses or public, but with strict restrictions and only if the government has lawfully approved the owner. |

| Not sure where to start with this one. He never answered the title question and went on to state incorrect facts(?). i.e. like implying one had to have a license to possess, or a license prior to purchase... it's as if he had no knowledge of gun ownership in Texas. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
