CNN is a fictional alternate reality show like "The Man in the High Castle" but without any action sequences.

If CNN says Texas politics are scary, then Texas is doing something right.

I was a dummy and went to the link - oh no's! They allow just ordinary people to go around with guns!
Good fort Texas. Arizona is the same way.

I can't wait until constitutional carry is the law of the land.

In fairness, I left the article after 10.5 seconds. I'm sure I didn't miss much.

it's the irony you missed.  all life is precious, that's why I carry  a gun.  but we must protect life so no abortion because all life is precious.

Well I don't get it then, Semp

I do believe life is precious. I believe self defense is a God-given right and I believe babies need to be protected. I think abortion is an abomination to God.

I'm not here to argue politics but I will state my beliefs. That doesn't mean that I want to argue or discuss politics. I do not.

By the way, how is it that you are allowed to carry a gun where you live? I don't own a gun but I would like to get a revolver for protection at home. I don't really want a gun around, but not having one had me feeling pretty helpless when I had some man trying to open my door at 3 am - twice.

I can't speak for semp, but in Georgia, it's simple.  Now, Ga. has passed the 'Constitutional carry law' which says you can carry openly without a permit.  Personally, I think that is BS and here's why.  In order to get my weapons carry permit, it used to be called a 'concealed weapons permit,' I had to be finger printed and my name and finger prints were run through the GCIC (Georgia Criminal Information Center) and the NCIC (National Criminal Information Center).  In addition, the weapons carry permits are for five years, but....  If you are arrested on a felony charge, the local Sheriff will come get all of your guns.  If you are listed as the 'assailant' in a domestic violence protection order, the Sheriff will come get your guns.

So, what the permit means to me is that, when a LEO sees my permit, he knows I'm clean.  Squeaky clean. 

In Georgia, then, you don't need a permit to open carry, but if you do have a permit, it gives any LEO you encounter a good reference on your behavior.

As for California, well, IMHO California is wacko.  If you want to carry a pistol, talk to your local Sheriff's Office.  Yeah, I get it that it's probably different in your county than it is in mine.  We have one red light and a population of 5000 +/- and I went to high school with the Sheriff. 

Internet research could probably answer most of your questions, but talking to someone live will save you lots of time.
Rule #1 Don't sweat the small stuff
Rule #2 It's all small stuff.
Rule #3 What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  Except redheads, they just kill you.

like I said I don't open carry or conceal, don't have a permit besides the places I go to don't allow it.

so figure the laws, that's all I can say.

So then you don't carry a gun then.  Fair enough.
