Understood but it IS progress.

[JRandomFreeper]

I understand that, and I'm glad that lots of people are happy with it.

I'm not looking for progress, I'm looking for the government to follow the rules.

You know. A hothead that won't take no for an answer. ;)

Actually, Texas is embarrassed that they are behind Oklahoma and other states in getting this into law. Oklahoma conservatives are especially hard to keep up with, especially under Mary. (Fallon, governor)

Fair enough you old curmudgeon... :)

[JRandomFreeper]

LOL! You got that right. Completely unreasonable. Ask Dewhurst.

Oh, yeah.. he's retired to his ranch and out of Texas politics.

I love saying that...

Decent but not Great, Windflier.

True dat. We all want Constitutional Carry, which isn't really something any legislature or government has real jurisdiction over anyway.

If a sufficient number of Americans simply stood up and said, "The Constitution is the LAW of the land, and we don't need any legislature's permission to exercise our God given rights", it'd all go away tomorrow.

That said, we've got to work within the society as it is, not as we wish it were.

Kansas signed Constitutional Carry into Law earlier this month!!

Hardcore all the way JR

We have Open Carry in Maine.

Constitutional Carry is on the verge of being a done deal soon. Half the democrats in the Maine House support it and virtually all the Republicans.

Then on to the Maine Senate, which is GOP controlled. Governor Paul LePage supports Constitutional Carry....he’s a staunch conservative.

Looking forward to having it become reality.

That's why we love ya, Johnny. You're a member of that 'tireless minority' I've heard about :-)

Rubbing it in there, sis? ;-)

(gotta admit - you're right)

[JRandomFreeper]

I know. I know. I'm ashamed. Part of it, I'll blame on reconstruction, since a lot of the reason happened there.

We'll eventually get Constitutional Carry. I promise.

Good going, Kansas!

[JRandomFreeper]

It is good to see the change in the world as time goes on.

When I was a little boy, LBJ was president and Texas was completely liberal Democrat.

They are rare as hen's teeth now.

Next step is to get rid of the liberal (R), like Dewhurst and Perry. And since they are out of Texas politics, it's time to get rid of Strauss and get Constitutional Carry.

Maine has Open Carry... This makes me sad that Texas doesn't yet.

Thanks for the ping!

[Grams A]

Interesting that our local congress critter - who does have an R behind his name - was absent.

When I was a little boy, LBJ was president and Texas was completely liberal Democrat. They are rare as hen's teeth now.

Some have told me that Texans were never liberal, even though most of them once registered as Dem. It's been said that, when the Democrat party began to be overtaken by radical libs and progressives, Texans moved to the Republican party.

That effect happened all over the country. Makes sense to me that it happened across the boards in Texas, as well.

Hell, when's the last time you heard anyone use the term, 'Dixiecrat'? This whole part of the country moved right when the Dems went full-on leftard.
