Re: TSRA and open carry - Split from NRA and open carry
This was by no means supposed to be "anti open carry" it was more of a statement of preferred priority of legislation. I would love to see all the wish list passed including open carry. I was just saying that if I had to choose one over the other open carry would not be on the top of the list, which is why I was glad to see it not on the top of the list for the tsra either.

TSRA and open carry - Split from NRA and open carry
I am trying not to hijack the nra thread.
Being someone who is affected by the employer parking lot current situation and a student at a college, I see open carry as distraction from some major legislation that needs to be passed to allow us more rights. I want to protect myself in more places not show off my guns.
I am wondering if I am alone in thinking this could end up being more of a distraction, especially if there is a lot of effort and it does not pass but neither does anything else on the 2009 wish list.
The discussion about the TSRA focusing on chl related things and not open carry actually made me kind of happy. Right now everyone is all up over open carry, which would be a good thing, but I would rather see the tsra focus on things like ELB was talking about. Even if open carry is passed we would then get to openly carry but would still have some of the same major restrictions on places we are allowed to go. In my mind for the right to self defense I have not won anything. To me I can go to the same places but just tell people I have a gun take me out first. I would rather see focus on expanding our rights of places to go as a chl holder and to me that would be more of a gain on my ability to protect myself because I can now go more places.ELB wrote:Mr. Cotton -- a tangential question.
You wrote above:
"The two top priority bills this session are employer parking lots and campus-carry."
+1 to both of those (or is that +2?). However, will there be any movement on eliminating some or all of the other "no-go" zones for CHL holders? I have been waiting to see what popped up in the legislative part of this site, figuring it is a bit early yet, but since you identified the two priority bills, I thought I'd go ahead an ask...?
