As it has been explained to me, Houston, TX is, by far, the largest city on the entire planet that will undeservedly allow righteous citizens the arcane privilege to openly carry their evil killing machines in public where precious children (who were not aborted by their mothers) will die at the mere sight of a holstered handgun. They tell me this is a grand social experiment that has never been tried before anywhere else, and if it has, then we are completely different.VMI77 wrote:That's probably based on all the incidents where these events have occurred in states that already allow open carry.Evidence and reality are anathemas to liberals.
When I bring up that the Phoenix Metro Statistical Area has a 2014 estimated population of nearly 4.5 million (Houston MSA is 6.5 million) and that Arizona has constitutional carry, so people are carrying guns without any training or background checks, and they seem to manage fine.
They retort that Arizona is "different", and they are not a "Southern City"... when I ask what that means, they never answer. I assume it means what this author said... the first black dude that open carries is going to get smoked by some racist.
I then bring up that the Atlanta MSA has about 5.5 million, and that they are a "Southern City" and that they have licensed only OC, and they seem to manage fine. They usually don't have a response to this... other than to call me a racist and imply that my pistol is a penis enhancement.
