A disconnect from reality does not stop (or even slow down) a democrat from pushing their agenda.mojo84 wrote:Do we have any reliable information or confirmation of how many people there were carrying long guns or wearing their handguns openly?
I did hear the one guy being mentioned over the scanner. However, like has been reported, he was located and determined not a threat. Hardly justification for new legislation.

Is there a law that grants the right in Texas to carry a rifle, or is there rather no law that says you can't? I know there's an old statute that says it's generally unlawful to carry a pistol but citizens may carry rifles in non-threatening ways. Seems like that addresses the manner of carry much more than the baseline right to carry a long gun.

Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.
