    Three cops shot and yet the killer still killed more people....Being armed doesn't mean you will stop a shooting but it does help.

    Dana Loesch just had Willeford on her program last wk. so the issue was on my mind prior to this latest tragedy in TX...



    I would hope that the past & this present tragedy would underscore the importance of us law abiding citizens grappling with the reasons NOT to have a legal firearm at 'our' disposal - toward the furtherance of personal and societal safety... ;

    (letalone their obligation as citizens toward the preservation of our Constitutional rights, via 2A, from the mere potentiality of encroachment by our very own gov.)​

    I invite all Dims to request your candidates for political offices to add revocation of the 2nd Amendment to your platform. Stop talking Dims and act.

    Magazines don't kill.

    That's like saying gas tanks make cars run faster.

    Me too. And good luck. You'll need tons of it. But the left does not want all guns banned, remember?

    A false answer. How is your country impacted by US gun control?

    I see little value in discussing US political issues with people such as yourself. It is really offensive to me for people like you to come here (a country you don't live in) to disrespect our President as you love to do. But I don't make the rules so it is what it is.

    Do you have a link? If it is legal to carry what justification can a cop use to stop you and examine your gun to see if it has a round in the chamber?

    Re. long guns... suspicion of poaching is the main reason; & this would include any kind of 'feeding device' that is loaded as well. That's why deer hunters largely opt for detachable mags, preventing them from having to cycle the action x 5 times every time they hop in their vehicle, buggering up their unused rounds in the process to boot... Road hunters (hate em) also like to just stuff a mag in real fast when they jump out of their rig & shoot from the side of the road...

    Never heard of that law, always thought it was a matter of personal preference, how do you feel most comfortable. I didn't like to carry my single action 1911 cocked and locked but always carried my 9 with a round chambered because first round was double action.

    There is no justification for randomly stopping you to inspect your rifle. ( Terry v. Ohio, Delaware v. Prouse, Brown v. Texas, and U.S. v. DeBerry. ) In order to be stopped and questioned by the police and have to ID yourself is if they suspect you of a crime, and carrying a rifle is not a crime in the state of Texas. That doesn't mean that cops don't try and intimidate armed individuals into complying with their demands. Happens all the time.



    In regards to the legality of open carry in Texas.

    That's right. It is what it is.........a public Forum, and I am 'public.' Feel entirely free to abuse our Politicians or our Government, or its policies. As I often say, everyone is entitled to my opinion, and I am not afraid to offer it. :)

    It seems you do see some value, as you are engaging in this exchange, presumably with the intent of embarassing me into silence, maybe because I am getting close to your bone?

    And you are again right....I have zero respect for the current Potus who is a disgraceful poozie grabbing grub.

    That law doesn't apply to sidearms.

    I'm sure you have something of value to say regarding some something. However, your comments about US politics based on what you read in your foreign fake news are of little or no value.

    Why would we even know who they are? You and your country are not relevant to us.
