I wrote a letter to the editor of my hometown paper.. After 2 weeks it finally made it...
I had just finished a conversation with an anti open carry person when I wrote the letter so its' content was based on the frustration I was feeling at the time.

Restore Right To Bear Arms Or Risk All Rights
Do Daily News readers have a freedom of speech permit? Sounds silly, doesn’t it?
I am asking my fellow Texans to support the Texan Open Carry Rights Restoration Bill, which can be found on the opencarry.org Web site. I’m not affiliated with opencarry.org but do support it.
Whether readers support this issue on principle, as a gun owner or as a concealed handgun license holder makes no difference. We are simply expecting our elected officials to give us our rights back.
In the past decade, I have seen more laws created and revised to take away rights that we as Americans fought for so long ago. We need to stop this dangerous momentum in its tracks.
People who are anti-gun and fight against this movement will join the problem. The government will continue to attack small groups in this country until virtually all of our rights are taken away. Today, it’s gun rights but, tomorrow, it could be another personal issue.
If the affected people don’t support us in our issue, we won’t support theirs. Then who loses? Everyone!
A responsible, armed citizen is one of the best assets a community can have. Until people have experienced that, they may never understand.
