No way. Ya mean the liberals lied again! Whoa..

It always amazes me how a majority of LEO’s everywhere know very little about the laws.

I would have thought they had some training to keep them up to date.

Liberals are so slow to learn.

This peaceful scenario has been proven a thousand times, and a cliché has even sprung up.

An armed society is a peaceful society. How old is that Robert A. Heinlein quote?

Anti concealed and anti gun rights propaganda groups tried that “wild west shoot out at every car accident” BeeEss in each and every state before the preexisting right to self defense was recognized to some degree in every state.

of 400,000 people would file for permits in the first year of the law,
state police said just 91,651 applicants were granted licenses by the end of 2014.

It's been five months and Austin still has not sent me a letter or License.
At least I still have my VA License which has reciprocity.

Permits and “having to apply” for them are infringments on our second amendment rights to keep and bear arms. End.
