Constitutional Carry

It is well past time for Texas to become a “Constitutional Carry” state.

Constitutional Carry is a simple concept meaning if a resident can legally buy a handgun, then he/she can carry it. Period. No license, no tax stamps or fees, no hoops to jump through are necessary.

Texas should be leading not following along behind Arizona, Vermont and now Wyoming. Wyoming joined Arizona and Vermont by becoming a Constitutional Carry state just this past summer. Meanwhile here in Texas, law-makers are dragging their heals while our constitutional rights are being infringed upon.

In DC the Supreme Court has become a joke, stretching the meaning of the First Amendment over and over to make sure their liberal agenda is passed, all the while purposefully misinterpreting our founding father's Second Amendment. There isn't much we can do about that, or is there? The Supreme Court will not uphold our country's constitution, but Texas can and should ensure that our 2^nd amendment rights are not ignored in Texas.

Im not going to quote all the definitive statistics that show how gun-control INCREASES crime rates. It's not about lowering crime or deterring criminals. It's much larger than that; it's about freedom! It's about history and remembering what the Bill of Rights was all about, following the letter and the spirt of the law and not coming up with some hokey interpretation to promote an agenda. We can't count on Washington to stand up for the constitution anymore, but we should be able to count on Texas to do whats right. If the Supreme Court wants to wash its hands and pretend that gun ownership and associated rights are a state issue, then we need to stand up and make it an issue in our state. The time to make Texas a Constitutional Carry state is now.
