Texas Handgun Open Carry Bill Clears Legislature

45. I don't think they're going to wear badges that say 'HELLO: FELON HERE' on themselves.

Until they are stopped and asked questions about their criminal past, they must be assumed to be innocent by LEOs.

I'd say this will escalate the chance of the police getting heavy handed - or walking away from danger. The people pushing this are wanting us to all live in a war zone. Only those who can afford guns and ammo will be free, the rest had better shut up and get out of the way. They don't behave well:

Spitting, Stalking, Rape Threats: How Gun Extremists Target Women

Having known two girls, one who was 12 and the other 13, who were kidnapped off the streets and kept for a week and gang raped, I don't think these guys follow the law, either. But they'll have the cover of this law in practice. Did you see who they all played the innocent little lambs out the restaurant in Texas having hidden their weapons in the flour sacks and tortilla chips, then sat out their looking like they did nothing as by that time they were not armed?

And fast could that have turned into a war zone if everyone in that parking lot had the legal right to carry? Do you really believe all of these guys have records or tattoos on them that say "I can't carrry?"

People don't use their frontal lobe thinking when they see a gun, it's more reflex. Of course, NOT ALL... you know like NOT ALL MEN... etc. etc. have military training and know how to behave with a gun. And we don't want that on our streets anyway, do we?

The law enforcement resisted this being passed in Texas. I suspect it's because they anticipate more of these one percenter criminals going the sovereign citizen route and shooting first and not staying around to answer any questions.

I don't want to live like that, and the people I know in Texas didn't want this law passed. And consider the source who said he'd sign it if he was passed - the same guy who claimed Obama was going to start rounding people up at WalMarts to ship them to FEMA camps.

The entire thing going on down there stinks to high heaven, and it's not even 'a dead skunk in the middle of the road.' It just stinks.
