I'd love to see it, but I don't see this ever passing... But, who knows...

What Constitutional rights are you referring too?

Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.

~Texas Constitution

huh how old would i have to be to sign

I am for open, concealed any kind of carry You want.

Good luck to you all! Arkansas started theirs about four weeks ago. Almost 200 sigs thus far. I'll be spreading the word more at this weekend's local gun show. I could only hope for the domino effect to kick in and see 1000 sigs by the end of the year!

I signed this petition 3 months ago.

I agree. Good idea but I think that the CHL law was probably as good as it gets.

You can also join the Texas Citizen Defense League at www.txcdl.org and help to fight for your Constitutional rights.

Please tell everyone you know about this petition. We should not have to ask permission, nor should we be limited to concealed carry, to protect ourselves, our friends, and family.

Sincerely,
Ian

I have signed , I just moved from florida last October, I am a native texan born right here in Houston
have not registered to vote yet, but will very soon now,. I agree with you on open carry, If the bad guy can see you are packing he will think twice about messing with you.
don"t mess with Texas, I say don't mess with a texan thats packin..

Lord knows with all the bullets flying from across the border there. It should not be a question, it's only a matter of time when. Now with Hezbollah confirmed in Mexico hanging out with the drug cartels, it will get alot more difficult to live without fear for the safety of one's family and one's self. Good luck to all on the border states.

Realize this petition was turned in at the last legislative session in TX and did not pass (look at how old this thread is).
