Even though my well known support of having the "option" to carry openly, I have learned from some very smart people here that there could be negative consequences if the OC issue is carried through legislatively...
It would require too many sacrifices of the existing Texas CHL law that I do not believe many would want to sacrifice, just to go heal, and have everybody know it...
As a TSRA member, I support the realistic efforts of individuals, groups, legislators who work tirelessly to promote and defend our unalienable right to keep and bear arms...
But the law of the land sometimes gets in the way of a great many freedoms we should have and exercise...But thems the breaks, and a lot of smart people are working to trim the fat off of infringements all the time...Patience grasshopper...It will all come in due time...
In the meantime carry per the provisions in the law of this state and you'll be just fine...
Lets make sure we get a clear majority of conservatives, and those that believe as we do on these issues in Austin this next go around, and see what happens this next year...
We have an insider in the TSRA that is very active in this forum, and sees our daily ruminations...I'm sure this is an issue that does not venture far from their thoughts...
But we will have to do it right, and do it to win...Not hack off people (who are on our side) in the process, like last time...
