Even the libs are starting to get it.

Well, at least Stinky Richard is.

The facts are the facts. Cho and hijackers go to the easy targets. Where everyone is disarmed, it’s open season.

A lot of people do not have the brain power to understand it. Thankfully it seems more and more are accepting the truth.

Unfortunately, not here in California. Only ex-law enforcement and battered wives with a court order can get one. The 2nd Amendment does not apply here. I called Ahnold’s office to ask for his action on this issue and his staffer told me CCWs were available in CA. Yeah, right. “Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.” Thanks RINO from Oesterreich.

Nasty Ann? Sorry Dick, we love her here!

In NC, to get a CCW also requires a check by the mental health department to ensure that you’re no nutso.

I don’t understand the logic behind the bar prohibition, which we also have here in Florida. Most people who go in a bar are not stinking drunks who are there to start fights. If you want to go in there and have a beer and meet a friend, so what?

Further, bars are literally covered with very nasty weapons that could hospitalize pretty much anyone if they are used. Yet all the bar fights I’ve ever seen were pushing and shoving matches with maybe one or two punches thrown in the last twenty years. Once I was in a bar when someone picked up a beer bottle and hit someone else with it. Once in twenty years.

And if I want to have a beer at the bar while I’m waiting for my table at the Olive Garden, I’d be committing a crime.

So who is Dick Orr?

And why should he care whether or not the White House was involved in firing the “federal prosecutors”?

There are numerous factual errors in this piece:
First, concealed carry wasn’t signed into law in 1991; that was the “Ma Richards” regime, and she stoutly refused to sign, one of the reasons that George W. Bush was elected to replace her after only one term.
He signed it into law.

Second, concealed carry is NOT prohibited in churches in Texas, though, individual churches can ban it if they choose to; mine, formerly Episcopal, does not ban it.

At the time of the shooting, a woman whose parents died in the fusillade of bullets said she had a gun in her car. Had she had it in her purse, she was quoted as saying things might have been different.

That surviving woman is Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who went on to become a Representative (District 54, 1997-2007) in the Texas State Legislature. Had she taken her gun in with her(and faced possible charges and loss of her practise), she could have saved many lives.

Given a second chance who wouldn't violate some useless law to save lives?

As it stands, they’re banned in hospitals, workplaces, liquor stores, schools, churches, airports and any number of other places.

Hospitals - Only if a 30.06 is posted.

Workplaces - Only if a 30.06 is posted or one has signed a contract with their employer.

Liquor stores - Only if a 30.06 is posted.

Schools - Inside, yes; in the parking lot, no.

Churches - Only if a 30.06 is posted.

Airports - Only in secured areas.

Any number of other places - Only if a 30.06 is posted.

Bars - Yes.

Federal property - Yes.

One also has to pay for the classes over and above the fee to the State.

This guy is an idiot.

"Perry even wants to allow them in bars, which is carrying things a bit too far."

Typical anti-CCW response. The REAL answer is to let'em carry in bars, too, and make'em take a breathalyzer test if some incident happens. If they have a blood alcohol level greater than that already written into law that would prevent them from driving a car, give'em a stiff fine and take away their guns temporarily.
