HGWC, I owe you an apology. After typing my last post, I took a couple of minutes to think about what I typed in both of my earlier posts, and how it would read to someone else. It comes across as a personal attack, and I did not mean for my posts to have that tone.

Again, I apologize for the way I said what I did. I will now bow out of this thread. Everyone please have a nice day.

That you are the owner of an Internet discussion forum doesn't entitle you to respect. Courtesy is the best I can do for you. I would have appreciated it if you could have offered me the same.

Not me, fella. Charles is the owner. I do respect him. He has given me countless reasons to. Have you?

Marching to the tune of one drummer who happens to own the forum wasn't what I had in mind when I registered. Like I said, I'll just be on my way now.

I didn't say you had to agree with him. I simply suggested you listen to him. He knows what he is talking about. If you decide to leave, that is your choice. I wish you the best at finding whatever it may be that you're looking for.

The small percentage of CHLs in Texas has little to do with eligibility requirements. Overstating current restrictions is the political equivalent of "crying wolf" and it doesn't help our cause.

Discussing issues is a very big part of the TexasCHLforum.com. However, this is not going to become a bully-pulpit for anarchist philosophy. You are a new member and I think every one of your posts has been in this vein.

Chas.

Asserting that I'm dead wrong, talking about my attitude, claiming I'm out of touch with reality, talking about me crying wolf, this is what you call a poisoning of the well fallacy. Claiming that my position is anarchist is what you call a strawman fallacy. If this is the standard for discourse around here, I suppose I'll just be on my way.

It's been nice chatting with everyone else.

You are, first of all, "talking" to the owner of this board, so show some respect. Secondly, you are "talking" to the man most responsible for the passage of what laws we do have in regards to concealed carry. In other words, you'd be hard pressed to find a better advocate of the 2nd Amendment or a man who better understands the political realities involved in us exercising the right to keep and bear arms.

There is a reason we have two ears and only one mouth. We need to listen more than we need to speak. I would humbly suggest that it is time for you to listen, because we have a wonderful community who love and support our right to keep and bear arms , and we can all learn a lot from each other, if we aren't always fighting.

Would it do any of us any good to ask for copies of the data for our own use ( not to be disseminated)?
