I saw the report last night too. And I must say they gave a lot of airtime to the issue. I was expecting a minute or two tacked on the last 2mins of the news. I believe it was good to have women gun owners on there rather then males as hopefully now some women will realize self defense is not just a guy thing. I was watching it with my semi-anti-girlfriend (that’s a whole other topic altogether, I meet her before I had my CHL but as I was planning for an Elk hunt in Co so I thought she’d be cool with guns, I’m still trying to work on her.)

I think it was very pro-gun they had like 4 gun owners an NRA rep and ONE anti.

"I feel that it's a problem," said Tomasita Garza, Texans for Gun Safety.
This group disagrees with King, saying there are other problems with leaving a gun in a car.
"The reason being no vehicle is safe. No matter what kind of deterrents you use to keep your car from being stolen, it can still be stolen," said Garza.

Yea and someone can break into your house too and steal it there so what? Lock it up when your not using it. They make car safes.

I too am afraid of my gun getting stolen from my truck…which is why I choose to keep it with me 24/7

Overall I was pleased with the report. It is curious that it talked of a move to deny your rights to leave a gun in your car, as the federal suit is in Oklahoma and involves their "gun in the parking lot" statute. It does make me wonder of word has leaked about 2007, but that's hardly a scoop since the bill was filed in 2005.

As for Texans Against Gun Violence, it never was very large anyway and when Dave Smith died, I thought that finished off TAGV as well. Dave and I debated on Channel 8 in Houston shortly after SB501 passed. I wish every anti-gun organization had someone just like him at the helm.

I'm not intending to be morbid, or disrespectful to those whom have passed on...

Just from a political perspective...

I didn't like or appreciate his political agenda either...Nor any of his minions...

Several employees of the Ch. 11 parent company in Houston have CHL's and are regular vistors to the HGCA gun shows.
I have made their acquaintance on several times.
They are fairly normal folks. Some of the abc affiliate employees are not as open-minded. : )
