Texas State Rep. Jonathan Stickland prefiled Constitutional Carry Nov. 16, a bill that would remove the requirement to obtain a government-issued permit in order to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense in Texas. If passed, Texas would be the 11th state to remove this government mandate.
Under current law, openly carrying a firearm in Texas does require a permit. Constitutional Carry would not remove the existing permit process for those who seek reciprocity with neighboring states; however, it would remove the requirement to obtain the permit when carrying in Texas.

Careful, we've "you tube's" of minors flashing their firearms gansta style here in Huntsville AL. Do I want my local law enforcement checking out to see if everyone in a group of openly armed is of age or worst, not checking to avoid dangerous circumstances. (felons psychopathic) Pair responsibility with liberty, provide incentives for training and establish simple convenient no cost vetting without infringing. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
