Here is the letter I sent a few days ago


Senator Jackson:

These bills protect something I hold very dear, My 2nd Amendment rights. As a young boy growing up in Texas we were free to hunt and fish without fear of loosing our rights. We didn’t lock car doors or even our homes. There are far too few areas like this left in Texas. I am reminded of this when I pass gang signs while taking my daughter to school. It is unfortunate that she will not know this serene existence where we don’t have to worry about the convicted child molester that lives 3 houses down. Much less the 100+ convicted sexual offenders that live in our city. We also cannot leave out the assorted robbers, drug dealers and gang members.

I hold a valid Concealed Handgun License (CHL) from our great state. I am a registered voter who goes to the polls on each and every election. I work hard and live an honest life. It is sad to think that I could loose it all because I might be forced to defend my family and then sued in court.


I would also like to see legislation easing restrictions on where CHL holders are prohibited from carrying a weapon. As a whole, those of us who carry concealed weapons take the responsibility very seriously. We do not abuse the right that we hold dear.

I am writing you to ask for your support for these bills...........
