Although equally it could be said that now we are allowing potential hostage takers onto busses with firearms.
Criminals do not obey laws--get that?

Oh, I see, you think that potential hostage takers were waiting for a law to make it legal for permit holders to carry before getting on a bus or train, etc. with a firearm. Of course they would. Anyone thinking about taking public transportation hostage wouldn't dream of doing it illegally now would they? They were just waiting so they wouldn't break any laws before taking a bunch of people hostage, and that is assuming they have a carrry permit.
The stupidity of some people is not to be believed. Yes, I mean you, feel free to take offense because I did at your post!
Wake up and smell the dictionary. Criminal: someone who doesn't obey the law. So, why would a criminal obey any law about carrying weapons anywhere?
Hi Unknown - Your first post is drawing some fire. I think you simply do not understand. Did I read a headline this week that there is a law being considered to make it a crime to carry a knife in your fair nation?
Most hostage takers don't acquire their guns legally. What you will see within a couple years is that the Houston bus and rail system is one of the safest, if not the safest, in the country to ride.
