Hell yeah, all it took was for citizens to push the lawful limits to free their rights. And even though many (including Bearing Arms) jumped on the wrong side a few times by questioning the activists methods, the Texas activists kept pushing and here we are a year or so later... talking CONSTITUTIONAL Carry. Good on ya Texas! Don't back down an inch and hold their feet to the fire of freedom. Texas Republican Party Supports Restoring Full Right to Bear Arms Monday, November 17, 2014 Governor elect Greg Abbott has said that he will sign constitutional carry legislation if it reaches his desk. gunwatch.blogspot.com/2014/11/texas-republican-party-supports.html

Texas Politicians Renege On Promise Of Open Carry LegislationBY Herschel Smith, 28 Jan 2015 Consider me shocked – a member of the ruling class likes it when the government gets to approve or disapprove of rights. The promise strategically didn’t include constitutional carry, and the so-called “obnoxious” behavior of open carry advocates has given him a convenient excuse for something he never wanted to do in the first place. www.captainsjournal.com/2015/01/28/texas-politicians-renege-on-promise-of-open-carry-legislation/

This will not sit well with real Texans...
Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.

Gun Rights' Groups to Texas Pols: Grow a Spine on Open CarryFriday, 30 Jan 2015 11:01 AM, By John Blosser Pistol-packing Texans are furious over what they perceive to be wavering support from Republican state legislators over enacting a law to allow open carry of handguns in the Lone Star state. When Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick, who voiced strong support for Second Amendment rights in his campaign, commented at a Texas Tribune event Tuesday that he did not believe open carry legislation could attract enough votes to pass "at this point," pro-gun activists went ballistic and started howling for Patrick's scalp, The Guardian reports. www.newsmax.com/US/open-carry-Texas-Dan-Patrick-handguns/2015/01/30/id/621722/

TX: Amarillo Open Carry in the SnowGun Watch, Tuesday, March 03, 2015 Open carry Texas is keeping the heat on the Texas legislature. This time with an open carry march in Amarillo, in the snow. More than 2,300 open carry marches have been conducted in Texas in the last 18 months. No other social movement has been as effective in organizing and gaining followers in the last few decades. Open carry has struck a cord with the Texas gun culture. Many became educated as to the state of the law. Some could not believe that they did not already have rights that are commonly in place in most of the other states. Others could not believe that they had the legal rights that they did. Both groups were emboldened to march and protest the current state of the law. Reports from the marchers show overwhelming support for their actions.

And all due to a band of 'radical' non-conformist citizens who refuse to bow down and surrender to the statists and their sycophants, including some anti-freedom pushing posers on our side. Texas On Verge of Passing Open Carry LawSaturday, 18 Apr 2015 11:24 AM, By Sandy Fitzgerald Texas on Friday came one step closer to allowing its citizens to carry handguns openly, with the state's House of Representatives voting 96-35 to allow licensed gun owners to carry their weapons in public in holsters. A similar measure passed the Senate in March, reports The Wall Street Journal, and after the two bills are squared, they'll likely be signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who has said he supports the idea. www.newsmax.com/US/texas-open-carry-law/2015/04/18/id/639346/
