The Second Amendment clearly gives citizens the right to keep and bear arms. In fact, with various restrictions (or in some cases none at all), 45 states allow some form of open carry. House Bill 910, passed last session, took the existing law regarding carrying a concealed handgun and allowed those same license holders to carry openly in a belt or shoulder holster. But the new legislation had nothing to do with the criminal acts that led to the death of those brave officers. It did nothing to change Texas laws surrounding the open carry of long guns, the type of weapon that killed the Dallas officers and was seized from some rally participants. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
