Jerry Brown, the Governor of California, just made it illegal for all California state employees to travel to Texas.The Annoyed Man wrote:I guess it all comes down to, what kind of people have we included in our circle of friends over the years? I don't mean that qualitatively; I mean it with regard to whether or not our circle of friends is fairly homogenous to ourselves in terms of values, world view, etc. I wouldn't be upset by someone carrying in my house, because I generally know and trust the people I invite into my house. They share my values and my world view. In the event that I've admitted a stranger for whatever reason, I am armed too, so....
It is worth noting that, for me, the only friends I have that I am aware of who do not share my values and world view, are old, old friends, left over from the days when I didn't hold my current values and world view. The bonds established there long ago were strong enough to survive my evolution beyond their statist viewpoint. It's also worth noting that they (there aren't more than 3 or 4 at most) all live back in California, so carrying into their homes is not something I would be likely to do anyway because I don't carry a gun when I'm in California. If national reciprocity ever passes, I'll have to burn that bridge when I cross it. In that event, I would most likely conceal carry while there anyway, and do a good job of it, and I would most likely carry into their homes. What they don't know won't hurt them.
Thousands have fled high taxes and liberal attitudes to come to Texas. Texas gained over half million new residents from other states and California lost 700,000 in 2015.
