I watched this last night also. I was concerned when I saw that Michael Berry was our spokesperson. I listen to his show pretty often and I know he is not afraid to make statements that tend to step on toes. I thought he did an excellent job last night though. David Jones seemed to be channeling Sarah Brady.JJVP wrote:Fox 26 (Houston) also had several sections of the broadcast relating to "Gun Control". They mentioned the drop in crime after passing the CHL in TX. Showed GW BUsh signing the CHL legislation and had Dan Patrick and St Rep Sinfronia Thompsom (D) from Houston, both talking about the reduction/prevention of crime due to CHL. They said that those who carry are actually protecting those who don't.MedicMan218 wrote:Just saw a commercial on channel 4 for a story they're going to run tonight at 9 about OC in Texas.
They teased it by saying that it'd be hotter than the show Hells Kitchen.
Should be interesting to see how they report it and what side they take.
Had interviews with people on the streets with some pro 2A and some antis. Also interviewed Michael Berry and David Jones. Mentioned the two recent cases here where guns were used to protect. The boy who used his dads, a cop, "assault rifle" to shoot an intruder and the two ladies who were abducted and sexually molested where the brother of one, a CHL holder, shot the rapist.
They also had a section on the increase of women buying guns and getting CHLs. The babe reporter mentioned that she was a little skittish when a relative bought a gun recently, but said that it was her right to buy a gun.
One thing that bothered me was at the end they said that when CHL's are stopped for a traffic violation that they should expect a longer stop. That the cops would approach the car tentatively and would call for backup before approaching. Total bull.
They had a poll on how many people had guns in their houses. 83% Yes, 17% No.
Looks like this FOX broadcast was different from the other one mention in the other post. No mention of open or campus carry. I DVR'ed the broadcast. If I have a chance in the next couple of days I will posted somewhere.
I couldn't believe what they said about traffic stops. Basically they described a felony stop and said if you are a chl holder you can expect a felony stop.
I thought that overall they did a fair job. There where only two people who came across as idiots, David Jones and the clearly clueless Asian lady who had been jogging.
