I'd just like to say for the record and in case anyone is wondering, not everyone in Texas shares bigjohns views on this. There are a few of us liberals...(gasp) scattered about Texas.

Knowing that people are allowed to have conceled weapons (legitimate or other wise) scares the hell out of me.

I'm sure bigjohn is a smart, honest, and very responsible gun owner with a permit to carry and it is not the bigjohns of the world that I worry about. It is those ppl who have a permit to carry that are not smart, responsible and honest that truely scare me. Which begs the question: since I'm so afraid of those folks (and I know there out there) who are not responsible, smart, and honest yet have a permit to carry, should I myself get a gun just to put myself on an even playing field?
