“I probably will visit next year or so. I don’t plan on relocating there: I couldn’t deal with your oddly horrible gun carry laws. I don’t mind it for a visit but it wouldn’t work for me long term. Which marxist don’t y’all like? Groucho, Zeppo, or Harpo?”
Well, we are friendly folks, mostly. So, you’re welcome to visit as long as you want just so you mind your manners. What is it about our gun laws that you couldn’t deal with? Are they too liberal or too stringent for you? Btw, I like all the Marx brothers - not to be confused with Marxists which I can’t tolerate. Are you a Marxist? Also, where abouts do you live? Just curious :)
“What is it about our gun laws that you couldn’t deal with? Are they too liberal or too stringent for you?”
FAR too stringent. I openly carry the Tools of Liberty, and Texas does not allow that. Hence the demonstration at the Alamo earlier today. Wish I could have been there to help. Texas, while it does allow concealed carry, has one of the more expensive and difficult to obtain “shall issue” permits in the country. For comparison’s sake, the new Illinois permit costs roughly the same as the Texas permit does ($150 versus $140). Which is roughly 3 times the maximum for a Virginia permit (varies by locality but cannot be more than $50).
I’m not a marxist or even a ‘rat anymore. I left in the 07-08 timeframe. I keep the site handle for nostalgia.
