In Texas Guns are Everywhere

Not sure if someone already posted this. Wish I would have met her. I did notice the hyphenated last name, Molly Hennessy-Fiske, so asking her out to go shooting probably wasn't going to be an option.

Damned right they are.

I mean 20 firearms is a good starter kit in Texas. All my neighbors have them. My work has hundreds of firearms. My prior job had them, my job before that had them.

I do support non gun owners putting signs in there yards that say “No Guns in home, gun free zone”.

"Two years ago, state lawmakers GAVE those 21 and older the right to carry handguns without a permit; in 2015, they GAVE those with concealed handgun permits the right to carry on public college campuses."


That statement is somewhat revealing of Molly's lack of understanding.

Lawmakers GAVE nothing. They removed some infringements upon natural rights that preexist the lawmakers. There is still much work to do.

That last line in the article is the best.

Nothing more than a hit piece documenting how gun crazy we are. Some knucklehead moves here from Maryland, only 3 years ago, and states it's the "wild west"? Sorry, we've been fighting to roll back the infringements on our God given rights, with the successes in only the last few years. Hopefully this horsecrap was intended to scare away and prevent any more libturds from moving here, if so, you have my heartfelt wishes for success.

I usually have 2 on me at any given time.

They should also know that.

I've only seen one person open-carrying the past few years in public but at the range there are several usually, mostly staff and instructors. But I have absolutely no doubt there are many carrying concealed in public. Even at a wedding in Denton a few weeks ago, I saw two with concealed just taking a whizz. I don't normally eyeball guys as they stand at a urinal but when they elbowed their suit jacket back it stood out (the firearm that is). No doubt there were many more. I left mine at the Embassy not knowing what the rules were, of which there were none I could see once we arrived at the venue.

Saw that yesterday. Would have posted it here with a link to the Washpost website, but the post makes you subscribe in order to see anything. Even the free subscription requires you to give them your email. Screw 'em
That said, writer is a moron.

 

[Fishkiller]

The whole article is slanted to show that we Texans have way too many lax gun laws.

 

[Moonpie]

In a roundabout way I'm OK with that article.

If it freaks out a liberal and prevents them from moving to Texas............

Fixed it for you.

But it kind of backfired because with all those guns in law abiding people's hands there is no real blood in the streets, exactly what permitless carry proves in all the states that have passed it.

Guns are everywhere, regardless of city, state, or country. Must be some emotions-based fear piece.
