Petition to Allow Open Carry in Texas

There is a movement gaining momentum in Texas to allow for the Open Carry of handguns in addition to our concealed weapons permits.

FORT WORTH — Despite the Lone Star State’s love affair with the gun, there’s at least one firearms restriction that some Texans want lifted.

Texas is just one of six states in which handguns can’t be worn in plain view. The other 44 states, in the parlance of gun advocates, are known as “open-carry” states.

I’m fully support it. I have signed the petition here.

If open carry were the law here in Texas, I would start open carrying immediately. I hate having to conceal my weapon — makes me feel like a criminal.

If you think that “shall not be infringed” means shall not be fucking infringed, and you support a person’s right to defend themselves, their family, their property, and the lives of others, then consider heading over and signing the petition, too.

In the words of Ted Nugent, “The most basic thing that makes me free and safe is my ability to protect myself from those who would try to take away my liberty or my life.”

I couldn’t agree more.

I would imagine this will receive an increasing amount of attention as the SCOTUS is expected to hand down a favorable ruling this week on the 2nd amendment case! Let’s hope.

I would recommend that when this becomes law, that all who carry open, will purchase a good retention holster, and get some additional training.

The day this restriction on my rights is lifted (and it will be lifted) I plan to vacation in Austin for a whole fun filled week of ,”Hey everyone, this is my Glock model 20″. I can’t wait. Enough catering to the liberal insanity of the vocal minority. Enough of the pandering over the rights of the criminal. Texans are wise enough to know that peace is only achieved on this earth when there are peacemakers. Why do I carry a gun?… Because a cop is too heavy. Please, all who read, sign the petition and end this insane violation of our constitutional rights.
God Bless our nation, and all who have served her.
