What happened:
To the open carry for CHLers as an option?
Or
To the failure to conceal clarification?

Open carry is a no go.
Failure to conceal clarification passed. See SB299

SB299 has been signed by Gov. Perry and it will be effective on Sept. 1, 2013.

Listening to Sen. Wendy Davis makes me ill. That fact that she was elected to the Senate is puzzling beyond belief.

Her voice is irritating, isn't it? (And her positions are even more so.)

It pains me that she serves part of the Fort Worth area. Luckily I am not in her district.

Thanks. Trying to watch US Senate and State Senate at the same time is a bit of a challenge.

The idiot running against her was clearly outmatched.
I had to put up with both of their commercials during the race but I'm not in that district. They were both juvenile and over the top idiots, she won.
