"This is Texas Bub...not likely."

Patterson, the Republican nominee for the Texas Land Commissioner office being vacated by David Dewhurst, explained in detail the history of the Texas Concealed Carry law, the history of post-civil war gun bans, and the Texas Constitutional Convention of 1876?s near-unanimous opposition to such bans. Patterson went on to explain that all of the limitations on gun possession enacted by cities, counties, transit systems and other Texas entities since the passage of the Texas Concealed-Carry law are illegal and unconstitutional.

The Civil Liberties Defense Foundation is currently suing for injunctive relief against such illegal regulations by Houston Metro. Patterson suggested that since all the trial judges in Houston are Republican, there was a high likelihood that such a suit would prevail at the trial level.

Patterson stressed that the Conceal-Carry law allows private property owners to ban handguns on their private property. Expressing his belief that the opponents of the Concealed-Carry law had been proven wrong, Patterson asked the audience "How many of you have been involved in a shoot-out at a four-way stop?"Source

If your gun is in your car, and your car is ON their property, they can throw your butt out.

My gun is on MY property, not theirs. Still eluding that demented little mind of yours, isn't it?
