My recollection was an open carry activist (nee lobbyist) put their foot in the door of a representatives office in the Texas Capital as the door was being closed.
A huge overblown deal was made and it set this back for two or three legislative sessions now.
Enthusiasm is great but temper it or you give those opposing something to really around which in the case had nothing to do with open carry.
I do hope if I have misremembered or mixed up different circumstances and events please pass on what actually occurred.
GGRRRRHH rally around
Sorry!
That may have happened but the big stink was going door to door in the then Speaker Dennis Bonnen’s neighborhood looking for support. Bonnen turned down the bill 3 years straight causing the frustration.
