The only thing I know about Dan Huffines is he introduced a Constitutional carry measure. Because of work disasters, I couldn't get to my computer to listen until late, and happened to hear the last few minutes of what Huffines had to say this afternoon. Things like "trust citizens," information about the lack of problems with open carry in other states, and the civil right guaranteed in the Second Amendment.

However, from what I see in this thread Huffines is a serious peckerwood who needs a sharp rap with a clue stick. The limited sample I heard would have gotten Charlton Heston a standing "O" if he'd said the same things, but Huffines appears to have a reputation problem.

But sometimes it's OK to (figuratively) shoot the messenger. If Hitler can make the trains run on time, I'm quite happy to run late. Vermont is probably scenic and I hear their gun laws are a model, but I wouldn't want to set foot in a state that elects socialists to Congress no matter how I agree with their gun freedoms.

So while you have that clue stick out, please, sir, I'd like another because I'm at a loss. What has Huffines done to cost him the support of gon owners?

Perhaps those nice folks at Google can illuminate my understanding. I shall hie me to my browser.
It wasn't Hitler that got the trains to run on time, it was Mussolini, and he did it by the simple expedient of figuring out the consistent late times, and adjusting the schedule to fit. :biggrinjester:

He's against open carry, but he wants the top three reasons why we shouldn't have campus carry???

Chas.
Amen to that.

Since the legislature meets every two years, they have the opportunity to sunset, every two years.

Only took her three breaths that time, I counted.

Just as his rant was heading toward strident.

I was starting to think that maybe he had himself in mind.

Re: SB17 OC Bill On Intent Calendar for 3-16-2015.

And a person who has "been convicted" (he doesn't say of what) is not eligible to have a license for five years, can then apply for and obtain a license in another state which would allow them to carry in TX, establishing a "loophole."

Seems to me that getting a license in another state would be predicated on not having inappropriate convictions.

"Common Sense" which is neither common nor sensible.

He's asking for yearly training?
