I can walk down any street in my fair city at any time of the day or night without a care in the world.

...and I don't need concealed carry!

If that's 'subjugation', I surrender!




It's a good thing you don't need it. Because it isn't an option available to you.

Personally, I enjoy having the option available. I don't have a CHL, because in Texas the restrictions on carrying a gun without a license are so minimal. When I'm on my own property, both at home and work, I can carry. And I can't be arrested for unlawful carry of a weapon in my car. As long as the gun is not in plain view and I'm not doing anything criminal. I'm presumed under the law to be "traveling." And when I am actually traveling, I can carry concealed.

About the only restriction on carrying a gun in Texas that really bothers me is the fact that I'm not allowed to carry a concealed weapon within a thousand feet of a place of execution on the day an execution is to take place.

DAMMIT! That's a lot of territory here in Texas.

In all seriousness, if you're under the impression that we in the states live in fear for our lives and need to pack heat just to work up the courage to head out the door, then get over it.

I live near and work in Dallas. Which is likely a higher crime area than many of those posting so far hail from. And it isn't particularly life threatening. It's pretty safe, actually. If you couldn't walk down the street any time of the day or night, I would have chosen a different spot for my restaurant.

The fact that I can drive around with a loaded handgun in the glove box is just sort of a nice perk for being an American.

Look, for the purposes of this thread, you'll just have to ignore us Aussies. We can own as many firearms as we like. We can go hunting whenever we like, there is no bag limit on buffalo and boar, no tags, no open season, no costs other than a tank of fuel and a counter-meal at the pub on the way home. My mates and I can take 7 ducks and seven geese every day of the four-month waterfowl season, at any of the 5 public hunting reserves within 40 minutes of our homes, or on private property of course.




Everything you wrote in that paragraph could apply equally to Texas. Except for the Buffalo. But I think the fact that I can pop a mountain lion any time I run across one sort of makes up for that.

Oh, and the geese. If you think shooting 14 birds a day is something special, you ought to check out our spring snow goose season. Everything short of live decoys is legal, and there is no bag limit.

Think of Texas as Australia but with more options when it comes to personal weaponry. And inferior beer.
