This is interesting, Wendy has voted pro-gun three times out of four.
Davis is not likely to earn an endorsement from the National Rifle Association any time soon, but according to votesmart.org, Davis voted “yea” on three of four “key votes” related to gun rights in the Texas Legislature dating back to 2011, including a bill establishing school marshals.

In other words, if I go to UT and someone tries to assault me, I better pray it happens in the parking lot and I’m already inside the car. Thanks but no thanks, Wendy.
For the sake of argument, if Davis were to become the next governor of Texas, and then backtrack on a “open carry” law, it would qualify as one of the biggest political fibs in state history.
Davis, who supports allowing property owners to determine for themselves whether handguns can be carried in public view on their property, deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one.

For the sake of argument, Woodrow Wilson and FDR got elected promising peace and delivered war, so if you want us to take a chance with Wendy Davis, you can forget about it.
