However! It is great that they decided to take that step. I met a constable today who is 91 years old (and he does look it). He is going to retire after this stint as he does not want to run for re-election again. People like these give me a lot of hope for my own future.

My aunt and Uncle own homes in both states. Not sure if they have a non resident permit from AR or what but I know they have Texas plates on their cars Texas Drivers licenses but they spend most of their time at their home in Arkansas, mainly because my parents are there.

For the last few years, When ever my family would get together the conversation would inevitably turn to to the worsening economy, society, and such. My family all knows I carry and a couple years ago I convinced my aunt and uncle to get their permits. They are both Ar. and Texas resident and have permits for both states. My sister and her husband live in Houston and I have convinced them to at least own a gun and they now have a few in the home. My brother lives in Lincoln Ne. and has a couple hunting rifles and shotguns and does not understand why I need to carry everywhere I go.

Yesterday was my mothers 76th birthday. I called to wish her a happy birthday and during our conversation she tells me "guess what"? "Your dad and I just finished a 7 hour class to get our carry permits. And I bought a .38 revolver". Dad already had a .380

They live in a pretty safe area just north of Eureka Springs Ar. but it is reassuring to know that they are taking steps to protect themselves.

We have also talked at length about laying in enough food and water to last 3 months and they are working towards it.
