I am sure that Gov Perry is in favor of open carry and all the other issues we see as critical to our cause. Don't forget that he only has a limited amount of political capital, and just like us he has to pick his fights carefully. Politics is all about trading, and while he shares our beliefs, he can't be a single issue governor. He has other stuff he wants to get done and he has to use his legislative support carefully. That may sound like a cop out answer, but we are very well off on gun laws compared to other states, and we need solutions on a lot of other problems that need his attention.

I think if we ever could get the 1 million NRA members in Texas, then that would carry a lot of influence and focus our friends on keeping us happy.
