He has a right to his opinion, protected by the First Amendment, and he shouldn't be criticized for having one nor should others try to suppress it!

Criticizing his opinion is no a violation of his 1A rights, it's everyone else exercising theirs.


If anything, your post falls closer to the suppression of speech than those who posted in disagreement with his. Many of us disagree, you suggested opposing opinions should not be stated.

My interpretation of the 2nd amendment is right to own guns, allowing any random, possibly unqualified person to carry one in public where my family and I might be isn't part of that. My opinions certainly are mine, and in this case, somebody else's different interpretation can put my and those around me's lives at risk. If it doesn't affect me, I don't give a rat's ass about it, but in case it certainly does.

...the right to keep and bear arms...

bear[SUP]1[/SUP]

ber/
verb
verb: bear; 3rd person present: bears; past tense: bore; gerund or present participle: bearing; past participle: borne
1.
(of a person) carry.
"he was bearing a tray of brimming glasses"

synonyms:

carry, bring, transport, move, convey, take, fetch, deliver, tote, lug "I come bearing gifts"

There is a constitutional right to bear (carry) arms. You don't get to decide who has and who does not have that right.

"Opinions" should be maturely stated with respect and without insult, which wasn't always the case in this thread.

And if someone disagrees with the masses, they are automatically wrong? Apparently so with this group.

Sad...

I don't know. I still unload my pistol by extracting and ejecting the live round into my palm.

Heck, I eject all six at the same time and put them in a speed loader for safe keeping.

Needless to say I didn't respond.

A big thanks to you and all the other instructors that value 2A rights over personal gain.

Welcome to the list.

Reading this thread has caused me to severely update my spreadsheet. Lol

We need LTC classes in order to be safe. Then everyone with a gun in public will know all of the laws, when they can draw, when they can shoot, when they should shoot, never miss, or hit innocent bystanders....

Just like the police. Oh wait...

LTC won't go away, even with CC. There are still benefits like GFSZ, NICS bypass, and the big one: reciprocity.

I believe everyone that is trusted to be in public on their own should be allowed to buy, own, and carry a firearm. If people are too dangerous to carry a gun, they shouldn't be in public. They could beat someone to death with a pipe or a brick or their hands or their feet or stab someone or run over someone with a car etc.

Now a real common sense solution is to remove anyone who is too dangerous to carry a gun from public.

An alternative solution is to limit CC people to 9mm and below. That way they will only annoy anything they hit by accident. If they were allowed to carry a .45, it would likely result in Armageddon, which nobody wants except the lawyers.

If HG has a problem with the 2A or hell with the 1st Amendment, he should make it his life's work to change it

Guess someone is playing dirty pool. This was sent out this morning from AM Texas Gun Sense.

>>Dear Texas LTC Instructor,

You may know that HB 1911, which eliminates the requirement for people to obtain a license to carry, was voted out of committee and sits in House Calendars. There is a risk that it will go to the House floor if people don't speak up. I'm sure most of you agree that unlicensed carry is not safe for gun owners or the general public. As trainers, you know how important it is that people understand the law, and how to use a gun before carrying in public. Will you speak up to try and keep the LTC program in Texas? You can call these reps. below, and if you'd prefer to send an email, it is first name.lastname@house.texas.gov. Your voice will make a difference!>>

Needless to say I didn't respond.

A quick search of the Texas Gun Sense corporation shows who's behind it:

They're a bunch of wealthy Austin socialites, and the organization is bankrolled by none other than New York City's finest gremlin: Bloomberg.

How about "well regulated?"

For the record, on one hand, I think it would be great if there was a useful proficiency test for people carrying guns out in public. On the other hand, should CC pass, it would still at least legally and in theory restrict criminals from carrying those. On the other other hand, should CC pass, I expect a similar backlash as when open carry passed, i.e. suddenly places who never gave it a thought put up 30.06 and 30.07 signs.

Well regulated, in the context of the period when the 2nd amendment was written, meant " well supplied; maintained well"

It had everything to do with the state of readiness of the militia, and nothing at all to do with the rules regarding the ownership of weapons.

There's a neat infographic about it online

I suggest the qualifying test be done in the prone position, off hand at 25 yards. Blindfold optional....

Is it smart?

So...did it get killed? Reportedly a whole bunch of bills died yesterday.
