The state slogan don't mess with Texas has taken on a new meaning as the State House [committee] has approved a bill that would make it legal for certain individuals to carry a hand gun without a license.
House Bill 1911 would allow Texans that are at least 21-years-old, have never been convicted of a felony and are not a member of a criminal street gang carry without a license.
Police chiefs from across Texas met at the Capitol on Tuesday to oppose the HB1911, saying it puts citizens and police in jeopardy.
...
As for HB1911, it has been added to the House of representatives calendar and will be heard on the floor for a vote. |

What the legislature needs to do is eliminate all the victim disarmament zones. Any business can post against legal concealed (or open) carry and it has the force of law with criminal penalties. Someone with a carry license who is obeying the law has to constantly disarm and rearm depending where he is going.
It makes it difficult to carry and leaves one subject to having his gun stolen out of his vehicle. |

| Ha ha, that's funny. The title asks a question that the article not only doesn't answer, it doesn't even mention. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
