There is a new bill up for consideration:
House Bill 375 — authored by State Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford — is known as “constitutional carry” and it would make the licensing process and classes to obtain a permit optional. The idea, according to Stickland, is that Texans shouldn’t be forced to take a course and pay a fee to exercise their Second Amendment rights. If passed, Texas would be the 11th state to allow constitutional carry.
For the people that don't have a CCL will you carry just because everyone else is strapped up? I know we can all carry in our auto, if nothing else Texas may just get a whole lot more polite. what's the name of that insurance company that covers lawyers etc. when you are involved in a shooting.
I can see the Herd getting thinned out & police a lot more wary of dealing with anyone. Soccer moms twisting off, drunks and dopers carrying and flashing. Back to the old west: high noon in the middle of the street. Someone capping a bad guy then everyone shooting at the wrong person. people being hit by strays(this is already happening). So if you don't carry you will always be at the mercy of all who do. Have to think long and hard about this. It would be kind of a drag to have to sling my AR or shotgun just to go to Mickey Dees because if everyone is carry a pistol I will be carrying a AR screw that little popgun.
What's actually funny if you look back in history of the old west they had fairly strict gun control: no concealed carry / check your guns with the sheriff or leave them at the stable / no discharging fire arms in town etc etc
