Momentum builds for handgun open carry in Texas

Contrary to popular perceptions, Texas is not the most pro-gun State. Open carry of handguns is illegal, and our 2nd Amendment patriots of Open Carry Texas are trying to change that.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Many gun rights activists say now, maybe more than ever before, they believe they have the momentum to pass an open carry law for handguns in Texas.

More than 70 people with the group Open Carry Texas participated in an open carry walk Sunday afternoon in the Uptown neighborhood in Dallas.

Texas currently allows open carry of rifles and shotguns which is what these demonstrators were carrying as they walked around the West Village development.

Or course, the Dallas County Democratic Chair, Darlene Ewing, disagrees: “Personally, I think Dodge City belongs in the Gun Smoke reruns…We are not anti-gun, we have some people who would like a lot of restrictions and some people who are not opposed to open carry and everywhere in between.”

Right, and Hitler wasn’t anti-Jewish, and the Klan isn’t anti-Black. Of course you’re anti-gun! Are you kidding me? Gun Smoke reruns? Dodge City? Those are anti-gun references you bastards use all the time, and then when we pass our pro-gun laws, your dreams of blood in the streets never materialize.

Here’s some information about Open Carry Texas,
