I did not realize that. You mean the gents you lambast as kooks are carrying loaded rifles openly?

Frightening isn't it?

OCT is no different than MDA looking in the mirror. Same dumb, unreasonable, can't reason with, their right, you're wrong attitude. Just on the other side. Give a member of MDA a rifle and.... oh, never mind. What was I thinking.

Much of our CHL law is statutory, and the Lege meets once every two years in Texas. No entity or authority is empowered to change those laws otherwise.

If it became overwhelmingly clear next month that openly carrying loaded rifles was a Real Good Idea(tm), it will be 2017 before that can be made lawful, other than a special session. Not impossible, but real tough.

I would though, in this terrorist climate, like to carry my AR slung over my back, when out and about as is done in Israel.

Will I do it?

No!

If however, it's carry is supported by the powers that be...then yes. At this point, I feel rather under-gunned with only a G19.

Perhaps, if more high profile people/politicians support this AR idea and it's broadly accepted, then yes, I sling up...

I would like TX to do what Montana has done and if you make the rifle in the state, and it stays in the state, federal laws do not apply. An SBR in a backpack broken down would be the best of both worlds. Keeping a rifle with you and keeping it out of sight. It would take a drastic change in society to accept the fact that you can walk around with an AR slung on your back in the open. Unfortunately, the terrorist climate may be what changes society.

Of course you could do it now with a stamp but to me that's an infringement the same as the CHL but that a different argument.
