Re: NRA endorses Texas Open Carry

Charles,

I am not trying to initiate an attack on the organization that I am a member of. I am stating that I find the statement is too neutral or ambiguous to be of any real value.

I realize that I may not be the brightest kid on the block, but if I see the statement as not leaning one way or another, I suspect that a good part of the general population might also come to the same conclusion.

I am pro-NRA, and feel like "we" should come down a little more forcefully and succinctly on the matter.

Re: NRA endorses Texas Open Carry

I presumed that it had nothing to do with it. But at face-value it can be easily misconstrued. I was disappointed with the statement in general.

Perhaps I should have re-phrased it as,

"could seem to support".

Chas.

"We support the right of law-abiding persons to carry a firearm for all lawful purposes in the manner of their choosing, consistent with existing laws." - NRA
Does that include unconstitutional laws?
Which laws are you referencing?

Chas.
As an NRA member I find the statement above quite disturbing. The NRA quote, if taken at face-value, would seem to support pre-Heller gun laws in Washington DC. It is really no statement at all.
