I wasn't here then but would also have to assume that the ability to quickly and easily capture events and post on the Internet, and the ability to spread your version of the word to more people than you may ever even know read it, all have impacts today that affect the public's reactions on this that were never imagined 20 years ago.cyphertext wrote:You had the same argument from the antis that blood would flow in the street, but we didn't have so much publicity about the issue. We didn't have scores of businesses coming forward saying that they were going to post before the law went into effect. There were no images of people with guns in local businesses constantly being shown in the media to get the soccer moms upset.Richbirdhunter wrote:What was the anxiety level like 20 years ago when CC became legal in Texas? Did people think we should be able to keep guns but not carry them at church or kids birthday parties?
Is this just part of growing pains?
And again, most of us here are for open carry, we just do not agree with the tactics taken by the OC activist groups. Could they not have gotten their same message across with empty holsters, or bananas in the holster? Who looks more menacing to a soccer mom, a guy with a banana on his hip, or a guy with an "assault rifle"?
