Sweet Boots.

Someone should have taken her full dosage this morning.

I have been listening on and off all day, and I will have to say I am surprised at the sheer number of folks that have showed up to speak "On" SB11 and SB17 and encourage an amendment to make it constitutional carry. I can't see how this could even happen, but I will say that there all lots of people speaking that think it should.

David from Open Carry Texas is up in the next 6 minutes.

Yup. Not threatening, but he looked like he was on the verge of a temper tantrum.

Kory Watkins is up in 4 minutes.

Fun/Lying with statistics! He says 57 officers were killed last year when their own guns were turned on them. No mention of how many of these guns were actually stripped from their holster and then used on them.

The level of ignorance about SB17 by some of the Senators asking questions is unreal.

One Senator just proposed that we should close the gun show loophole to keep people from obtaining CHLs and open carrying.

Sen. Birdwell.

This is great already and the public hasn't even started talking yet.

Here we go guys:

Lets hope the vocal folks from OCTC, OCT, etc. can keep it respectful. I contacted CJ through twitter and Kory through Facebook and reminded them both that our even our Nation's independence was not one in one battle.

I also contacted my Senator (who is a co author on the bill) and thanked her.

Today is going to be a very, very long day for all involved in this hearing.
