Robbery near Mazatlan

possibility of needing a firearm for this purpose is "living in fear".

But, I believe I know how most Texans would answer the question.

Me? I happen to like owning and shooting guns. However, I really don't prefer the law that allows "open carry".

What is THAT all about?

I broke the quote out a bit - sorry if that is a problem.

I also enjoy shooting guns and have done so most of my life - target shooting.

There was a time when the was a "possibility" someone would drop a bomb on us so a great many people had bomb shelters built in their back yards. I do think this had to do with living in fear. Possibilities?

You also question the whole open carry thing and the need to walk around in public with a gun - including shopping malls and stores and restaurants where people bring their families. How many of these people carrying are professionally trained to avoid the loss of innocent life? What is that about?
