Mos Def and Slartibartfast. It's a must read and see. Even though the movie and the books are very different.

I won't say that I don't see room for improvement...but I'm not going to get wrapped aroudn the axle about the improvement not happening as fast as I want. I've only been here for a little bit over a year, and I've seen two common-sense improvements happen to the current set of gun laws.

I can see the OPs point to some extent though. Coming from NM where they have constitutional OC, moderate requirements for CC, state preemption, four 600m ranges within 45 of ABQ, and the ability to shoot and hunt on federal BLM land all over the state... coming to Texas was surprising for me... I just had this vision of Texas and firearms in my head that didn't line up exactly with reality.w squared wrote:Speaking as someone that's come from a place where citizens are not allowed to own guns for home defense, I think that Texas gun laws are a huge step in the right direction.

You make a good case for the low expectations some people have for supposedly pro-gun politicians in Texas. They're still stuck in the Reconstruction mindset until 20 years ago when it was easier to legally carry in New York City than Houston.sailor2000 wrote:If he had been here back during the days of Ann Richards he would have a much better understanding of where we are now.
