Good News from TX

05 June 07

Good news in TX, from a friend there:

"The State of Texas has passed three laws of significance to gun owners and decent people everywhere:

HB 220 allows concealed weapons in the parking lots controlled by employers that otherwise prohibit them in other company areas. That way, employees can arm themselves as soon as they get in their cars at the end of the day and thus not be compelled to drive to and from work, unarmed.

SB112 prohibits seizure, by any unit of government, of lawfully-owned weapons, even during 'emergencies.'

SB384 eliminates a 'duty' for anyone to 'retreat' from criminal assault when in any place they otherwise have a right to be. It also shields citizens from civil liability when they practice legitimate self-defense.

Violent crime is on the rise down here, especially in coastal areas, from Brownsville to Beaumont, a direct result of the (now permanent) influx of undesirables from LA. At least some of our politicians are more concerned with the welfare of decent citizens than they are with criminals, unlike the case in so many other states!"

Comment: The "criminal vote" is actively courted by some contemptible politicians. Their lust for power is their only "morality." Happily, theare currently outnumbered in TX!
