Pretty good letters.

We shouldn't forget that needs to be focused on changing the minds of people that think CC only is the way to go. The author of that article makes a good point about CC only reducing crimes, but its still an infringement of 2A.
Texas is CC only and is gonna be very hard to change peoples minds. If a CC for OC trade is made it will be very tough to get OC back.

Look what happened to Oklahoma.

There is a kook in the comments section of the second link that wants to shoot open carry "bullies".
himself thus fulfilling the prophesy of "blood running in the streets like the Wild West."

I grew up in a California agricultural community with a gravel main street and wooden sidewalks. Our family home was the second home built there. I remember the dusty street un-wetted by blood.

The people who get worked up like that are the ones to watch out for. They want guns banned because for this simple reason: they believe that they themselves would use a gun in anger to kill someone, and they believe that everyone else is the same way.
