HB2756 Open Carry

[runninmike]

I'm not happy about having to get a license to carry openly but, I wholly accept and endorse it if it is what's offered. Maybe after awhile they will change it to unlicensed open carry and better yet, Constitutional carry. I grew up in Mt where it's pretty free roaming with guns to include constitutional carry outside most city limits but, spent the last 17 years in California where you really feel like a peasant when it comes to gun rights. Texas is trying very hard, get on board so we can gain more freedom. I really want the right to carry openly especially when on the trails again.

Let me throw this in there.
I support this bill and I dont have a license.

As disappointed as some might be on the details we support this or get nothing. And if this cannot pass we have a huge battle to face for Constitutional Carry.

 

[Renegade]

If we cannot get licensed open carry to pass with a supermajority, we can forget about Constitutional Carry ever passing. Baby steps.

As i said it may not be the win that i wanted (because it does me no good) but its a win, i still support it and am behind it but i just want to make sure that it doesnt stop here.

Only out of curiosity, why don't you have a CHL?

He told us he had a problem with DPS and PTSD.

Bad call, IMO.

He does. He has a Florida license from what I have read. Texas will become open carry with a license. I dont see reciprocity being an issue.
Well unless Burnam has his way.

Ah, I remember now.

Then he will be able to open carry, if the OC bill passes. Burnam's garbage won't get out of committee.

Dude get one. I realize they are about as constitutional as a poll tax, but in the mean time before constitutional carry don't you want full reign to exercise your rights?

Oh guys do yall want to send this Burnam guy a bunch of letters? Remind him that Texans are not going to put up with his crap for long perhaps.

A permission slip isn't a right.

A permission slip isn't a right.

Dude....WE GET IT ALREADY, OKAY?!??

 

[KAK]

Yeah I agree but I would still get the permission slip instead of being defenseless, especially in Waco.

I dont have PTSD the reason i dont have a Texas CHL is because i couldnt afford to pay a state shrink because they didnt want to accept a Military eval.

I'll stick to carrying my G19 with the "permission slip" over being dead.

I'll stick to carrying my insert handgun of choice here with the "permission slip" over being dead.

Words to live by

Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither should you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition (or sabotage) which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is that of a group that will attempt to "pull down" (negate or diminish the importance of) any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of jealousy, conspiracy or competitive feelings.

Yea man we all know all that and you'll have a hard time finding anyone who doesnt agee with you. That fact is, you have to realize were working on better rights to carry. The bill is just that.
You also need to realize you now have people and an organization who are dedicated to doing just that! Noone disagrees with you.
