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 |
| 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 |
