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. |

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 |
