“If open carry is good enough for Massachusetts, it’s good enough for the state of Texas,” Abbott said the day after his election last month.
If this were only true for all the other things which are good enough for Massachusetts! Texas would be a lovely place.
“In one-and-a-half seconds, a man can run 25 feet with a knife in his hands and stab you before you get your gun out,” Ross said. “If your weapon is concealed you’re dead.” And this is the kind of imaginative thinking that also believes every person tortured by the US was preventing another 9/11.
“In one-and-a-half seconds, a man can run 25 feet with a knife in his hands and stab you before you get your gun out.”
I HATE it when that happens.
“In one-and-a-half seconds, a man can run 25 feet with a knife in his hands and stab you before you get your gun out,” Ross said. “If your weapon is concealed you’re dead.”
And if I come up behind you with open carry, I have YOUR gun before you can even react.
greg abbott is an idiot
Yeee Haw let the good times roll in Texas. What could go wrong?
You’ll at least know who to walk up behind and knock over the head if you need a gun but can’t get one because you’re a criminal and can’t get past the background check. You know cause nobody has eyes in the back of their heads.
Open carry is a kinda of a who’s got the biggest wiener contest huh?
Hope they lift the ban on dueling too. Gun fights in the street, Marshal Dillon style is a god given murican right!!
Go ahead and do it! It’s time for TexASS to take its rightful place at the top of the Darwin Awards!
It’ll be interesting to see if they have surge in “cleaning” accidents.
Hell, why not? It’s not like I’d ever go there, anyway.
If lifting the ban on open carry of handguns works out, the next step will be to eliminate that pesky ban on using those guns to kill people. If you can’t use 'em to kill people, what’s the point of packing?
The good lady in question failed to mention that it was a black/brown man she was talking about. That went without saying. God help Texans of color when this goes through.
And If I don’t like to be sneaky, all I need do is approach you from the front and when I get close enough, punch you in the nose and grab your piece while you are wondering what the hell happened.
Am I missing something?
These yahoos think if they strut their guns that someone who wants to rob them won’t shoot them first and take their money over their dead bodies. Dumb asses.
I’ll bet that the statistics would show that Ross is more likely to shoot herself cleaning her gun than she is to use it to ward off some guy running at her with a knife.
Texas will now be blood red also too.
“In one-and-a-half seconds, a man can run 25 feet with a knife in his hands and stab you before you get your gun out,” Ross said. “If your weapon is concealed you’re dead.”
And now a person can shoot you from over 100 ft in 2 seconds… hella win, sort of.
