    Texans for Gun Freedom Press Conference & Walk

    Thursday, 8/22/19, at 10:00 am
    11th and Congress, Austin Texas

    The Governor’s “Texas Safety Commission” is meeting at the Capitol at 10:30 on this same Thursday to discuss ways to keep guns away from people the government determines shouldn’t have guns.

    The Governor had originally not allowed anyone from GOA-Texas or any other Texas gun rights organization to participate in this meeting. Even worse, he’s invited a gun control organization to give input. After a huge outcry, Abbott added one representative from TSRA but has still not invited any members of a grassroots 2A organization, nor has he invited a single FFL dealer.

    Whether you carry a gun or not, your liberties are being threatened.

    If they won’t listen to us inside the building, we will speak out outside the building.

    Please join our press conference where we explain our positions, and then walk with us down Congress Ave. in a peaceful protest march.

    I know it is both short notice and a work day but I hope a few folks from here show up to help out.

    I would love to be there but with my current inability to walk more than a short distant, I won't be able to.

    I really appreciate what you are doing.

    Dallas Texas or so
    Don't forget to ask for the name of one person a gun law has saved.

    Also point out that passing a gun law to prevent shootings is like preventing drunk driving by banning sobriety.

    I will be attending. Thinking of carrying a long gun. Don't want to be "that guy", though. Thoughts? If I do what do you guys think, PS90 or VZ58?

    Excerpt:

    FIREARM CARRY PROTOCOLS:

    The 2nd amendment calls for us to regulate ourselves and we intend to do so. If you choose to join our group, please follow our self-imposed guidelines below for safety and orderliness.

    If you plan to carry a long gun, meet at 9:30am the corner of 12th St. and San Jacinto by the Capitol Visitors’ Parking Garage.
    1. LEGALITY: All carry will be legal according to current Texas law. If you are carrying a handgun (unless it was manufactured before 1899), you must have a valid license recognized by the state of Texas.

    2. HANDGUNS: Handguns must remain in a holster. If they are visible, they must be carried on your person in a shoulder holster or a holster on your belt. All holsters must hold your handgun firmly and cover the trigger guard.

    3. LONG GUNS: Long guns must be carried on a sling either in front or back. Muzzles must point in a safe direction at all times (either up or down, and never at any person or property). Keep your safety on and do not put a round in the chamber.

    4. TRIGGER SAFETY: Keep your fingers and all other objects off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.

    5. CAPITOL GROUNDS: Long guns may not be carried on the Capitol grounds. If you’re carrying a long gun, stay OUTSIDE of the metal fence and gate.

    6. SAFETY CHECKS: We will have designated firearm safety officers; follow their directions. Please also help your fellow carriers to stay safe by calling their attention to anything that may be unsafe. We all stay safe by having each other’s backs!
    1. REMOVAL: If you refuse to follow our safety protocols, you will be asked to disassociate yourself from our group. Please leave the area peacefully.
    My own thoughts are that it's going to be one hot day and not having to lug an extra few pounds might turn out best. If I had to choose, the PS 90 is definitely the best for summer, as a proper gentleman only wears white before Labor Day. ;)

    Yea, wrote him a naughty email. TSRA was worthless in O.C. talks, won't be much better here. If I had to go down and testify, I offer to do his job for him, no charge! Unfortunately I'd really tick off the libtards. Verbally!! Without a single mention of the Constitution!!

    It was good to meet you Dogbone. The group made it onto 2 local stations for about 30 sec total. Typical of the media, even the topless whack job got her sign featured.

    Pleasure to meet you as well, sir. We got a whole 30 seconds of news coverage? Was that from each station or in combination? /rhetorical question

    The topless creature simply misunderstood the concept of "Open Carry." I thought about sharing a photo here but was afraid it would frighten off any folks considering coming to a future rally. My eyes are slowly recovering but my mind is forever scarred.

    I'm glad a bunch of folks went and represented us well.

    Hopefully I'll be able to go to some of these in the future.

    Hope to see you at a future event or hearing. This one was a "Perfect Storm" for low attendance, with short notice and on a work day. I was happy to see so many obeying Rule #1 of activism: Show Up!
