I'm going to write up a 2 minute speech and sign up.
If these folks are afraid of their constituents who LEGALLY exercise their Rights they should reanalyze their choice of employment. |

Wouldn't this law be invalid due to Texas' state exemption on firearm laws?

I don't live in Arlington, but if I don't get called out for work today I'll come sit in on it tonight. Will be in a black Glock polo.

As confirmation, 101 Abrams looks to be the same building that houses the Public Library at the corner of Center/Abrams?

So, they are really afraid of people who basically have an ongoing background check by DPS? |

Right, unless it's a government owned building. But they wouldn't do that. That drives people away. A simple fine gets some money in the city's pocket. |

Quoted: City council considering anti gun measure, making it illegal to concealed carry at a "government led" meeting. $500 fine. Meeting is tonight. Guess it's time to go out and be heard. Amending the "Miscellaneous Offenses" Chapter of the Code of the City of Arlington An ordinance amending the "Miscellaneous Offenses” Chapter of the Code of the City of Arlington, Texas, 1987, through the amendment of Article I, Miscellaneous Offenses, by the addition of Section 1.075, Weapons Prohibited at Public Meetings, relative to carrying or possession of a weapon or simulated weapon at meetings of governmental bodies within the City; providing for a fine of up to $500 for each violation of the ordinance; providing this ordinance be cumulative; providing for severability; providing for governmental immunity, injunctions, publication and an effective date. From the "meeting minutes here: http://www.arlingtontx.gov/citycouncil/agenda.html please come out and be heard Errr TXI will chime in soon I assume but any city council meetings are already offlimits for CHL holders under current law under the goverment-meeting section. |

It was once said California was one of the first States to get serious about gun control, because the Black Panthers started showing up at the capital bearing arms during congressional debates. Governor Ronald Reagan signed the resulting gun control initiative readily.
Ask yourself - are you helping, or just being an intimidating ass? Better yet, ask a random person that. |

The "in your face" style will just make them more resistant to the idea of open carry. It is a right, but some discretion needs to be employed before enough antis lobby to restrict it further. Walking into Walmart with an AR strapped to your back for no reason other than to show you can isn't going to make many friends. Especially if the public isn't informed about what is going on. Open carry of a long gun is legal but hasn't been customary in public for a long time. People just aren't used to sering it and it makes them nervous. Scaring people will hurt more than it helps. |

Absolutely. Gary Kleck talks about 'anti-gunners' opposition to guns being fueled by a distaste to the culture associated with them; 'culture conflict.' Southern, hunters, conservative, etc. Polls even show Americans don't even believe gun control is a method for crime control; or that it might even reduce crime. So with this in consideration... all these open carry movement idiots are doing nothing but enforcing negative opinions. If you are one of them... reevaluate your position. |
