Please tell me what I'm compensating for?
not outsourcing your personal safety to the government?

Why would I trust the government with my safety?
exactly.. the people who whine the most about honest Americans being armed are those who are afraid to make their own safety a personal responsibility and accept that risk. So they outsource that duty to the government and in order to cover their own timidity and lack of courage, bash those of us are like you and I
Wow. Wendy Davis is getting desperate.
Good. She sacrificed her kids for her own political career. May that career now crumble to dust.
Please link to your data showing the OC'ers are more prone to victimization than CC'ers or unarmed.Also, if I were a violent criminal intent on causing harm, it would be really convenient to know which douchebag I should shoot first.

So where is money gonna come from?
Yet your going to run to a court of law of the state when a criminal action and or civil action has been committed against you and expect the state to enforce it.
that is not relevant to what I have said. Is your idea of preventing a violent assault upon your person or your family suing the guy in court months later? Mine is shooting the attacker until he or they stop doing what justified me shooting them
Okay Rambo
what are you going to do-pee your pants and dial 9-1-1 and hope the cops get there before you are dead, beaten up, raped or whatever?

I'm probably going to live in the here and now and not some kind of Chuck Norris fantasy land.
Hell if I know, but I bet if he rocket's to national prominence based on this plus the color of his pants, that he won't then then later strip all reference to the issue from his campaign material and website and claim to be "anti-fence".
why are you so hateful of people who make their own safety a personal responsibility? do they accentuate feelings of timidity and inadequacy in you (Read Snyder's A NATION OF COWARDS).
Look, if you are afraid to own or carry a gun, thats cool with me. Its your choice. But why are you feeling a need to bash those who do?
What leads to believe I can not handle a firearm? What insecurity is it about you that makes jump to these conclusions?
that isn't the issue. The issue is why you attack people on this thread who are pro gun
You are talking crazy now
what was the purpose of your first post addressed to me in this thread?
Um, how is requiring paying about $240 for a state issued, constitutional right rental permit "free"? A Texas driving permit, for adding a mere state issued privilege, which includes training materials, the photo ID document, and the law/road test is $24. It is high time that we reassess what freedom means; we have our full set of constitutional rights unless and until they are taken away after due process of law. The moronic concept that we must now prove ourselves worthy, in the eyes of our gov't masters, to obtain individual constitutional rights seems a bit short of freedom.
Wow. That sucks, esp for the 'great state of TX,' bastion of the conservative and cowboy.
Here it's $55, shall-issue, and no training (=$$$) required. I'd like to think the $55 is what's needed for administrative costs...heck it only took 5 days for mine to arrive so maybe they paid for Fed Ex
As almost anybody can buy a weapon and legally carry it via a token permit process, gun owners are no more, and no less likely to be mature, intelligent or otherwise awesome than non gun owners. Nothing demonstrates this more than Dunn (loud music) and the Popcorn shooter.

For those of us who have been deployed to combat zones, lived in high-crime areas, are or have been law enforcement, or have had something happen to their family, it's more like a nightmare than a Chuck Norris movie. But hey, Chuck Norris did once parallel park a train, so I don't want to take away from his fantasy.I'm probably going to live in the here and now and not some kind of Chuck Norris fantasy land.
