Good topic. For me, it wasn't a single moment, just the accumulation of news stories of carjackings and other random violence.Stupid wrote:Hurricane Rita evacuation. First time i ever loaded my M4 in my house, then I realized that I couldn't carry - not the M4, but my handguns because I didn't have a carry permit, nor did TX allow car carry back then.
One minor point: Texas has always allowed travelers to carry weapons, and no one could argue that fleeing a hurricane is not traveling.
I wish more people who were born here had your understanding of our rights and our history.
