Texas Pastor Publicly Totes AR-15, Aims to Bring Attention to Open Carry Laws

[BjornF16]

Most States have laws that elaborate on the 2A, meaning they limit it to some extent. Texas is pretty bad from my perspective, and most of the county and municipal LE in Texas have a pretty long track-record of blatant corruption, which is even applauded by many Texans that I know, as long as you are of a certain genotype. Texas was one of the meccas of voting laws designed to keep Negroes from voting, particularly within the Democrat party.

County LE means sheriffs here in Texas…they are some of the most pro 2A supporters in the state. I'm not sure what time period you are referring to, but it sounds like the 60's.

Some of the municipal LE (city police) may have anti 2A sentiments. Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas come to mind. Add Temple (too close to Austin). The rest are pretty supportive of 2A.

I think the "big city" police departments end up anti 2A because they are appointed officials and most of the big cities are liberal leaning. Sheriffs are elected officials and tend to follow the majority of their constituency.

If you have a CHL in Texas, you get to skip the search line and can conceal carry in the state capitol...
