To summarize the results of this thread 1: TSRA is not going to do anything for OC at this time , its not part of their agenda because there is not enough interest in their membership . How do you know this? How is this being determined? How was this determined for Employeer Parking Lot and SCCC? 2...

I suspected this was your goal; now it's confirmed. I apologize if that goal was unclear. I would appreciate any suggestions to my original post, especially the sentence below that would have made this clearer: "I am a TSRA member and I request that TSRA support open-carry in the 2011 legislat...

Due to computer issues I have not had much time for this since Saturday. I am willing to step up and do something, not because I want to open carry (because I don't) but because I feel it is important. One thing I am reading Charles as saying is that we need a Texas based group/organization to get ...

Could someone please explain what makes open carry so attractive to them? :headscratch Hello TxKimberMan, This was addressed in a previous post, but for your convenience, please see cut & paste below. Thanks and Have a Nice Day! Even if it passed I would still carry concealed: I think as a gene...

I think you're right. It'll be the same group that alienated every staff member and Representative in the Capitol and managed to taint the entire issue. I'm equally sure they will again blast TSRA and claim that we oppose OC equating TSRA's lack of involvement as opposition. Thanks Charles. I appre...

IMHO, it is really all about just how much Kool-Aid that our legislators and the electorate are willing to swallow at one time, especially when it is a new flavor. I believe that if they swig the whole package at once, it gets spewed out. If they try one or two flavors at a time, they might sip and...

I would prefer to send them the email stating: "I am a TSRA member and I request that TSRA review and evaluate the introduction of an open-carry bill for the 2011 legislative session." This will show the volume of support for a look at OC. The TSRA legislative team is very savvy and will ...

Hello Everyone. Hopefully everybody has had an opportunity to review and consider the SA-TX post OK passes open carry & TSRA planning for Texas '11 session http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=34325 . The discussions provided a lot of insight on the Texas Open Carry topic. I am...

Parking lot and campus carry are too important to be bogged down by open carry, IMHO. :txflag: :iagree: OC might best be saved for future legislative sessions....but not this next one coming up. Parking lot & campus carry should be the major focus this go around. ;-) Hello Gentlemen, I understa...

I understand. However if I were a property owner I would want the right to regulate my own business. If I can deny custom to people without shoes I should be able to be stupid enough to deny custom to CCers. If I understand you correctly, that is a false analogy. Shoes are designed to protect one's...

Contrary to what many have said about me, I do not oppose open-carry; I do have one and only one concern, and that's the expansion of businesses posting 30.06 signs. The fact that I do not support OC does not mean I would oppose it. In fact, I absolutely would not oppose it, unless a horrendous bil...

Actually, SA-TX and Cohagher have so eloquently stated their position, that I am more favorably disposed to their cause than I was. Even so, I still think things like the parking lot bill should have some primacy of position before the legislature because that legislation will more directly affect ...

Starbucks is only one company; how can we view the action of one company as indicative of what others will do? It's more revealing to look at the many hundreds of companies that posted generic "no gun" signs from May, 1995 until Sept. 1, 1997. That was the period before TPC §30.06 was cre...
