Okay.

I think you're frustrated that she doesn't offer a more detailed plan for achieving those goals, but you explained yourself that the governor has no legislative power. So, any "plan" would be meaningless. The only way a governor can advance an agenda is through the bully pulpit and arm-twisting.

However, that goal will not be accomplished by her intended action to repeal the CHL laws. And Governors really don't legislate, and she doesn't seem to have a plan about how to alllow anyone to carry, other in their car, like she does. The law DOES allow me to carry in a grocery store, because I have a license to, and it's my impression that she stated she wants to repeal the CHL laws, invalidating the privldge (license is a priviledge) I earned and paid for that privledge to carry in a grocery store, she wants to repeal the CHL laws, so I can then carry only in my car, like she does??? I've been robbed twice, once by 2 guys with .38s, another time by 5 guys with 2 shotuns and 3 pistols, BOTH times were in a STORE, and neither time was in my CAR.

Again, she doesn't want to "eliminate the CHL law", she wants to eliminate the law that makes the CHL necessary. PC 46.02, the whole dang chapter, whatever: you would not be reduced to carrying only in your car.

You, me, Medina, my neighbor without a CHL, my 19 and 20 year olds (who aren't yet eligible for a CHL), could all carry. In the car, to the store, in church, in college classes, etc. Without a license.

Really? You've studied her position, and that's the impression you got?

She doesn't want to "take away our licenses", she wants to eliminate the requirement to have a license in the first place. You wouldn't be restricted to car carry, nor would she. She made the point that she'd like to carry in the grocery store too, but she follows the law, and the law doesn't allow that.

Well, only online or by radio. The FCC insists that my "home" TV stations are in Louisiana.

Excellent. I'm glad they included Medina. I'll be doubly impressed if she's allowed equal time and given equal questions.
