WTF is wrong with Texas?
It must be all the oil fumes causing that much brain damage.

Well, you did say “please.” Here’s Mother Jones quoting the NRA saying the recent spate of people going around in Texas openly carrying long guns was “downright weird” and counterproductive. You do consider the NRA a gun-rights group, don’t you? I’ve seen this same sentiment often expressed by other real-live gun-advocacy groups. The NRA backpedaled after the open-carry people went nuts, but their actual feelings were clear, and the consensus is there to see across the board. The open-carry people are out of the mainstream of their subculture. Sorry if you see a problem with my statement. The problem with your own statement is that your seeing no evidence whatsoever for a certain thing doesn’t mean the evidence isn’t there. Originally I was joking about Nehru jackets and stuff and not trying to make a sociological analysis that would stand up to peer review and be published in a fucking journal, OK? It’s a holiday weekend and I hope you enjoy it. I’ll leave it at that.

He really is proud of it, right? I didn’t think anyone would be more embarrassing than Rick Perry, but I’ll be damned – Abbott’s already gotten Perry beat. He’ll end up making Gohmert look like a wise statesman by comparison.

The primary problem with openly carrying a gun is that you become seen as a threat, and therefor a target. Personally, I don’t like to walk around with a sign saying: “Shoot me first!”

They really, really enjoy knowing they make the people around them nervous and fearful. Seriously. They get off from this thrill.

Here’s an open-carry guy who got his gun taken off him by a concealed-carry crook. Candy from a baby, the expression goes.

What’ll really bring an end to this idiocy is the outcry from business owners who will complain about the havoc these gun-sportin’ jackasses wreak at their stores, restaurants, theaters, etc. Nothing runs families out of a yogurt shop on Sunday afternoons better than a group of socially maladjusted creeps openly carrying weapons for freedom of speech.

Never going back there. Never.
It’s a very simple thing, really.
The goobers who advocate “open carry” have teeny-tiny little dicks.
And they advertise this by carrying their penis substitutes.

Some members of some police departments have the same mindset. So, a little nothing of an issue escalates in a heartbeat to a shooting, and they’re confident they’ll be acquitted or exonerated when and if the case is tried.
With this guy, I’m wondering…
“Where’s Costello?”
This will sadly continue when there is a woman in the WH.
The old west has risen again…this is what happens when you eat mushrooms grown in cow shit
Guns don’t kill people. Cringing, bed-wetting, gun-clinging morons kill people.

Perry, while pretty much an all-round jerk? Was corporate-crony-wise.
He’s screwed we residents in a fashion not yet understood by the (R)ubes-- in denying Medicare expansion.
Abbott OTOH? Is proving to be a f^cking tinfoil-wrapped believer. Literally-- a RWNJ-goofball.
He’s being groomed as a puppet to the ruthless Lt Gov Dan Patrick–
(Persona-wise? Think Tom Delay with a better veneer)
who, in the more powerful position in TX state government–
will abuse Abbott much like Cheney did GWB-- IMHO.
