Open Carry of a Handgun inTexas

One of the students in the VA Tech shootings had a CCW. He being the honest person he was he didn't have his weapon on him during the attacks. His father told me he feels some responsibility now because he could have stopped some of the killing.

What people fail to realize is you will never get the bg's to surrender their weapons and you will never be able to stop them from getting them. The following is cut from a FOX news article. People complain about our dead in a war zone overseas but just look at some of our cities where they have the toughest anti-gun laws on the books.


Nine people were killed in 36 shootings during one weekend this spring. The next week, five people were found shot to death inside a South Side home.
Chicago Public Schools officials say 27 students have been killed by gunfire since September.
Pamela Bosley lost her 18-year-old son two years ago, when a bullet struck him as he helped a fellow student unload instruments outside a South Side Church.
"If you didn't have the guns, we'd still have our children," she said.
Annette Nance-Holt, whose 16-year-old son was killed on a city bus last spring when someone sprayed bullets inside it, was livid with the court's decision.
"I'm still trying to figure out who we are more in love with, our children or our guns," she said. "It's crazy. I'm safer being a deer knowing people are hunting you."
Daley was also troubled by the ruling.
He predicted more violence and higher taxes to pay for extra police if his city's gun restrictions are lost.

On the flip side the city is already trying to use this as an excuse to raise more taxes.
