A Texas gun activist is once again calling for the execution of lawmakers over a bill that would allow the open carry of handguns.
Kory Watkins expressed his frustration Thursday morning in a Facebook post after open carry legislation stalled the day before over law enforcement concerns.
Im calling for the arrest of every elected official in Texas that voted against open carry, Watkins said. They should be arrested, charged with treason and should face a punishment that could result in being hung from the tree of liberty.
The Texas House appeared close to passing the legislation, but law enforcement groups persuaded lawmakers Wednesday to remove a provision that would prevent police from asking those carrying weapons for their licenses if there was no other reason to stop them.

Violent threats on Facebook may be OK, justices rule

was defeated. "Constitutional Carry" is anybody with a gun or any kind can carry it anywhere at anytime.
Thank you, Kory!
