Re: Open Carry argument

It really doesn't matter what any persons opinion is since open carry is a right.
I don't think the TX legislature wants to legislate in favor of restoring our gun rights. I think they want a court ruling so they don't have to support or oppose this right and can distance themselves for elections. I think if we had a good case in the courts the State would work with us to craft the decision so they would have a judgment that "forced" them to change the TX constitution and laws to comply. Then those that represent more pro-rights areas can voice their support and those that live in anti-rights areas can say how they oppose it but must do what is necessary to make our laws comply. Should that be the direction we move?
