The saying "perception is reality" should make those members of OCT re-think if they're part of the problem, or part of the solution.

it was noted on another website, that they were posing for a photo not threatening anyone.

If that's accurate, then I retract my statement about TPC §46.01(a)(6).

He easily could have been arrested and convicted of violating Tex. Penal Code §42.01(a)(8).

It's time for conservatives to continue willing legislative battles and court cases that restore lost freedoms. These are the tactics that work. Giving photo-ops for anti-gunners to use to win others to their side of the issue is not only ineffective, it's counterproductive. If these tactics continue, they will go a long way toward making sure no open-carry bill has a chance or even meaningful support in 2015.
