Re: Brownsville Herald Poll "Are opposed to the new open carry gun law in Texas?"

However, the decry it not because of safety or because of the principle of the thing. They decry it because it means you don't know how to defend yourself otherwise. My brother in law told me over thanksgiving (who owns several handguns and rifles but refuses to carry), "You know that most of the people who carry guns carry them because they either can't or don't want to learn how to defend themselves." He then went on to say that a man who carries a gun is less of a man than he is. Its a bunch of macho poodoo.
My grandfather always told me to use the right tool for the job. As a senior citizen and disabled vet, my right tool for self defense is (right now) a 9mm pistol. I'm not as good at a lot of things as I once was, but I'm as good a shot as I ever was.
