My original comment was aimed at people who are only willing to support pro-gun legislation that effect them only. Is campus carry going to effect me at this point in time? No. But I'm going to support it anyway because it expands the pro-gun communities rights. I believe we need to be united in all our efforts. What "disturbs" me is the people who don't think this way.Charles L.

You post there and virtually everyone sees open-carry as an issue that everyone should support regardless of how horrible a particular bill may be. Everyone who expresses any concerns are ridiculed.

That is exactly what disturbs me when I visit this forum. Instead of everyone banning together to expand our gun rights we pick what's important to us and throw the others under the bus.
Why the double standard for TexasCHLforum.com and Opencarry.org?

Now, about opencarry.org. You quizzed me about it so I'll give you a more thorough answer. I've never mentioned it on this forum, you have repeatedly. I went to see what all the hoopla was about since it gets mentioned so often. I read, I posted on 2 (two) threads questioning Rep. Lavenders bill and never went back till you questioned me on it. I wasn't over there commenting on this forum, anyone on it or you. Why you felt the need to target and question me in this is beyond me. Just because I posted on a forum you don't like that makes me an evil agent with ulterior motives? Given your questioning you must think so.
Yes, I'm for OC. And yes, I'm urged people to support it but I've stated several times on this forum that I want a responsible OC bill. If that makes me a fringe OC kook that has no place on your forum so be it!
