This has to win the prize for most ironic post...for any resident of California to refer to "sanity" in gun legislation is laughable at best. That you then go on to disrespect Texas is not in the least bit funny. It doesn't surprise me that Texas is once again considering open carry...what does surprise me is that we don't already have it.

I don't know if I would carry openly or not...but it would be nice to have the freedom to do so legally if I chose. The 2A didn't say "keep and bear concealed arms." Personally, if I was planning some mayhem and saw someone carrying a gun, I'd avoid them at all costs! Others feel it makes them a target...maybe I don't have a criminal mind, but armed people are not going to be the ones I choose to rob, etc.
