"Yah, I'm sure they'll overturn Sullivan, and this will have the effect that the Luby's masacre did in Texas. Alls they need is a gun rights champion, huh? Yah, that's it."

You know naught of which you speak.

There was CCP holder in Lubys, the management prohibited her from entering the eatery armed. So she left her handgun in the car, and consequently had to watch her mother die before her eyes, all due to the safe, "no guns allowed" rule. Which to criminals means, illegal activities by perps are AOK.

put down the bong pal.

If she had not left her gun in the truck, Suzanna Hupp lamented, "It sure as heck would have changed the odds'' against the man who walked through a Texas restaurant in 1991 and killed 23 people, including her parents.

"I made the stupidest decision of my life,'' Hupp told an Ohio House subcommittee. "I decided to comply with Texas law.''

At the time, Texas prohibited the carrying of concealed weapons. That changed in 1995 and the state is safer for it today, said Hupp, who was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1996.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Wrong answer Grizzly ! We did'nt have the CHL in Tejas when that occured. It was a driving force behind the passing of the CHL law though and Suzy with'a SIG is now a Texas lawmaker !

Fine lady....and purdy too !

Stay Safe !

That was in Texas, but there was no CHL/CCP at the time. The lady who left her gun in the vehicle (not a car IIRC, it is central Texas after all) was afraid of getting caught with the pistol and loosing her chiropractic license. Her name was then Susanne Gratia. She's now state Representative Susanne Gratia-Hupp. I've heard her tell her story in person. Both her parents were killed in the incident, and after all these years, she's still mad about it. However she not only got mad, she got even, with the SOBs that wouldn't let Texans have handguns on their persons for self defense. Every year she introduces legislation to improve the CHL system. This year it was a clarification of the state pre-emption law, which some cities were violating as "owners" of government buildings and facilities. The Legislature set them strait, the people are the owners of those buildings, not the elected or non elected "officials" who banned CHL holders from them.

When the CHL law first passed, you saw a signifigent number of 30.06 "No CHL allowed" signs (30.06 refers to a section of the law, but it's pretty appropriate too. Now one rarely sees them, especially after the counties and cities could no longer post them.
