The local schools have all posted 30.06 and 30.07 signs, at one campus right at the entrance to the parking lot. Even though they are already as protected as Sandy Hook by federal law, they just had to go and post 30.06/30.07. It's theatrics, not public safety.

I'm worried and I'm a little offended. Those signs tell me somebody "knows" I have murder in my heart and barring restraint, I'll uncork hell on earth. It doesn't matter that I rescue lost puppies. Somebody is convinced that I, and people like me, require extra scrutiny.

Criminals know the police can't be everywhere. I guess just like those government officials who assume I'm just a seven pound sear away from little Timmy's last breath, I have growing concern government entities will figure out the AG can't be everywhere, either. If even a relatively small percentage of nanny government officials unlawfully post 30.06, most of them will get away with it.

If enough government offices post 30.06, the law against the practice will fade away like the antique Austin ordinance against carrying wirecutters on Congress Avenue. All it will take is the AG running low on resources.

There is some good news, though. New signs are going up because Texas passed open carry. That's not much of a leap.

As a result, we have a clear view of who respects civil rights. It's not much good news, but a line has been drawn. 'Course, that and a Visa Gold card will get you a cup of Starbuck's coffee, but it's something.

Personally, I don't much care if a private establishment requires neckties or bans open carry. I respect differing views, but to me banning OC is a dress code issue.

Banning concealed carry is an unwholesome fascination with my foundation garments. They shouldn't be able to ban going commando, even if that means one in the chamber. All God's creations have defense mechanisms. Even the two little highway puppies I now care for have teeth, a fact to which I can attest, every evening I'm a little slow getting the dog treats.

Wait - that's it, that's the loophole! Not having big teeth is a disability! It's not a gun, it's prosthetic fangs! Where's my reserved parking space??
