I think what adds to the frustration for me is what we see from our Congressmen in Washington. We expect them to fight but all I notice is them rolling on their backs and showing their bellies to the opposition. But this is Texas. We pride ourselves on being cut from a different cloth. We look challenges square in the eye and don't flinch. Don't tell me that something is important and then give up on it. That's the Washington way. This is a cleavage issue for this state and an absolute embarrassment that we are one of only a handful of states that don't allow open carry.RoyGBiv wrote:I suspect the heartburn derives from announcing less than 2 weeks into the session that open carry is on life support. From the outside, it might appear that not much effort was made to bring about something that was a rather prominent campaign promise.Charles L.

And it's not like anyone had no reason to think Patrick wouldn't support 2A legislation and OC.

Chas.
Not trying to put words in anyone's mouth... not mine either.
When I retired from the Army I could have picked up and moved anywhere but my family and I fell in love with this state. I want my last breath to be Texas air, but I want to die as free as possible.
