By the way... speaking of how important WOMEN are to our movement, let me say one more thing...
God gave us the common sense to carry a weapon for self protection, and our Founding Fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment to guarantee this right. But it wasnt until October 16, 1991 that "The Movement" really got started... right here in Texas, at a Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen. 44 people were shot down, 24 of them died. Suzanna Hupp survived and the irony of her story was that while her own parents were being butchered inside... her handgun that she carried for self protection, was a hundred feet away in her truck... as required by the then Texas gun laws. Mrs Hupp got righteously pissed off, after she got over her grief, and almost single handedly brought this issue to the entire nation...Texas passed the "Shall Issue" Concealed Handgun law in 1995. She got so practiced and successful at Congressional testimony, that she was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1996 from District 54, where she served for about 10 years.

Thank you and Thank you.
I make zero bones about being being pro gun and pro safety/knowledge/training. When people stop fearing things...great strides can be made.
keep us posted if the NRA has anything to report.
