I'm sure there are many ongoing discussions about this, so my apologies for any duplication.

We don't have open carry or campus carry because the House majority chose Joe Straus as Speaker of the House.
We don't have open carry or campus carry because Rick Perry didn't want them enough to add them to to the call.
