Constitutional cary bill dead in Texas

Kentucky just passed this. Beat Texas... HA! Actually, what I am concerned about now (not that it would affect me personally because I carry under LEOSA, but I do have friends and a son who carry) is that some dipshit Demo Sheriff or State Police Commissioner will say he's no longer going to issue the State CCDW License, since it's no longer necessary........ which would be problematic for people wanting to travel out of states into states with reciprocity agreements.
 
There are maybe 3 republicans in state wide offices, Ted Cruz (he is becoming shaky), Abbott, and maybe 1 I dont know about, the rest are all republicans like Comey and Mueller are Republicans. This state sucks, really sucks, they are pretty unfriendly toward freedom and love illegals as much as Cali does.

When did Texas change? Has it always kind of been like that, or is it just because all the Kalifornians moved there and are trying to make it Kalifornia? Kentucky always seems to send Republicans to DC, but the state is, and has always been run by Democrats, with only a handful of GOP Governors ever taking office. But our Democrats aren't really like the DC Dumbocrats, and a lot I have talked to are really getting fed up with that party.....
 
Always been like this in the 3 times I lived here over a period of 40 years. Both parties are the biggest threat to the republic, there are no Constitution believers in either party, actually both parties are the number 1 enemy of the Constitution and Freedom.

Just a citizen concerned about the upholding and preservation of gun rights, just like the rest of us, but was used as an excuse for a RINO to withdraw the bill and backstab his contituents.

^^^ THIS

The Speaker/Chair/committee prick was going to screw Texas anyway. So he killed the bill and blamed it on gun owners themselves in another attempt to divide the community and suppress someone's willingness to stand up for a natural right. This was all about saying "You open carry, you will destroy concealed carry... so you can't really do either. Ha Ha... I have the power because I am elected."

Texans should have an armed open carry rally in front of his house.

Sirhr
 
There was a time when any citizen could walk up and knock on the White House door and ask to see the President. Different times. My opinion is don't be in Govt if you don't want input from the people. Maxine Waters told him to do it.

If you guys in Texas used your 2nd Amendment properly then you would never have politicians that would vote against your gun rights.

There should be no armed security for politicians except for the POTUS, I believe these asshats in congress say and come up with these idiotic ideas because they have armed security and use that to push their own agendas onto to the American People. Even when at work there should be no armed security, let them call 911 like the rest of us. You remove that armed security and they would change their rhetoric overnight .
 
Hmmmm....lets see where any state has the right to infringe on you, and how you carry.
The Bill of Rights are those rights the people have inalienably.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Very simple words ratified by the states, authenticated by Thomas Jefferson.
More simple words:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
And even more simple words:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
If you read these words, and understand them, they ay explicitly that your Second Amendment rights are yours. They re not the government's, they are not given to teh governments of a State or County or City, and no state or county or city may remove your rights, privileges or immunities, which your rights are without due process.

Your right to bear arms shall not be infringed so that you may keep and maintain a free state of being. They do not say the SATE is free. A 'free state' is common wording that dates back to John Locke, the writings of which ou forefathers used to word the constitution. A free state is a free state of being, as in we are free. How we bear arms shall not be infringed.

The 2nd, 10th, and 14th amendmets guarentee this.
 
I think an open carry rally in the House while the votes are being cast is about the only way it will pass.

Or vote the lot out of them during the primaries.... that's when they are the most scared because they know it takes a much smaller amount of folks to kick them out..... Also why they play really hard ball with candidates of their "own party" who challenge the "presumptive winner" of the primary.
 
I'm thinking some don't get it.
I have a chl/LTC I can open carry and do at times and the rest cc.

This is about constitutional carry.
No license etc.

All my family and most friends can carry, so not really for my benefit.

Just want Texas law to reflect the constitution's intent. No other personal implications in my case.

We've had it die up here in Iowa in recent years as well. People just don't get involved. If gun owners rallied together more often maybe we'd get somewhere.
