Story from TX Law Shield; a TX lawmaker has a proposal to allow anyone to carry in the state as a federally protected right. Criminals carry without thought to the consequences. I like the thought of at least passing training, knowing some law and agreeing to additional responsibility IOT carry. Your thoughts?

I personally don't mind open carry, I don't however because it makes some folks nervous and I've had to play the 50 questions game in the past.
I also had a looper berate me for being a fascist because I had my pistol on. Think about how stupid that incident was, let me get in a guys face, I don't know, who has a 45 strapped to him and berate him for carrying a gun. Concealed carry is much better in my humble opinion.

CSM Richard StCyr - I can only repeat to you the words of Ralph, a poster on the TTAG site:
"I have saved several lives by just walking away. None of those lives saved were my own."

PO3 Steven Sherrill - I've always carried a knife, don't know how many I lost at the airports to the TSA since 911 before I remembered to pack them in my baggage.

CSM Richard StCyr - That sounds familiar. I forgot to pack my locking blade pocket knife returning home from London Heath Row. I was informed that such "weapons" were illegal in GB, and asked where I had obtained such a device. When I explained that I purchased it at a PX, and showed my military ID, the agent let me keep it.
That was before our 9/11 and the British 7/7 terror attacks.

Hell yes, the reality of the situation is that predators only attack when the see weak looking prey. They are not looking for a fair fight. The only true equalizer for a law abiding person is a legal gun. The founders were clear that nothing should interfere with our right of self preservation up to and including a tyrannical government.

Is a good idea, but does it start at the state level or national level? What do you think of the TX lawmakers idea?

MAJ Charles Blake - The right to keep and bear arms is national. The states really have no say there.
The 2nd is pretty clear to me. Shall not be infringed on. Is a key phrase.
