Radio Talk Show Discussion of Texas Open Carry Initiative
- [url=">
This is a courtesy event-notification. My participation is as a member of another group. Houston Area Campaign for Liberty is not sponsoring this event.
I'm scheduled to be on a local Houston radio talk show to discuss the Texas Open Carry effort. Many don't know but Texas is one of only 6 states that completely prohibit the Open Carry of a handgun, as in, not concealed but open to view. The other 44 states "allow" us to exercise our right to self-defense.
In Texas you can walk down the street with a rifle, which would be impractical for self defense, but not a handgun. While you can get a concealed-handgun license, the law restricts CHL to those over 21. Currently it takes 6 months or longer to get a permit to protect yourself.
This will be an hour-long discussion about open carry. We'll explore some of the history of the prohibition, what we mean by open carry, what we're asking the legislature to do, pros and cons.
