In theory, I agree, but look at Illinois- aldermen (and other elected city officials) are considered 'peace officers' and can therefore carry. That hasn't really helped the cause of concealed carry in IL-- matter of fact it probably hurt due to the couple of them who've waved guns at folks.The Annoyed Man wrote: I agree with you, and quoting Animal Farm is perfect. That said, I'm not going to make a stink about this to my representative or senator, because once is a fact of law, I can use it to bludgeon them into giving my rights the same respect they give their own, and I can hold that over their heads as a campaign threat if I ever decide to support an opponent or run myself.
Granted, that's IL politics, and is not representative of TX politicians, but still. I can only *hope* it will help us.
