On the flip side of things, State Representative Jonathan Stickland has his own idea for keeping Texans safe. The Dallas area Rep has filed what he calls the Constitutional Carry Act, a bill that would allow gun owners to open carry or concealed carry without a license.
On his website, Stickland writes, "The second amendment alone should stand as one's 'permit,' to ensure their safety and right to self-defense." The way the law stands now, first-time applicants for a license to carry a firearm must take a training class and pass a written exam. |

| Rights are alright if paired with responsibility. So where's the training class incentives? Maybe write law to lessen liability for a person having the class. Untrained shooters best know the law, and how to react effectively, before making the choice to carry and take action. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
