We may want to plan ahead to stem the anti-A2 movement of Democratic run cities and states. What say you/?
Cities and Counties here in Texas can't override the Texas law on firearm ownership and carry. Some local governments have tried to declare all government buildings off-limits to carry. The fine can get up to $10,000 a day. I have seen some youtube videos of cities reversing course when confronted.
I say you should be actively participating in the state legislative process here in Texas. Despite this past session’s failure to deliver open carry due to the active efforts of the Sepaker of the House, there was some ground made.
And, more importantly, due to the actions of the Speaker, that guy won’t be running again. And neither will his hand-picked crony that led Homeland Security and Public safety will most likely be in jail. In this off-session year, it’s imperative that we influence our state officials to support our efforts.
Please, actively engaging with your state rep and state senator to influence a more supportive environment towards the Second Amendment. You may feel like your barking up a tree, but two things come to mind: a squeaky wheel gets the grease; and you never get what you don’t ask for.
Are you referring to Constitutional Carry? I ask because we already have open carry for folks with their concealed carry permit, and I'm somewhat ignorant on what is going on in Austin now (shame on me).

Eww facebook. Why do pro-freedom groups keep using them when they hate freedom and shut down dissenting opinions?There's already an active 2A Sanctuary movement here in Texas. You can find them on Facebook at:
https://www.facebook.com/saveour2a/
There are already over 30 counties which have passed either an ordinance or resolution in support of our 2A rights. Most of these are admittedly "feel good" actions without any teeth but taken together, they may help dissuade the idiots in Austin and DC from continuing with restrictions on our rights. The 2A Sanctuary idea isn't a magic bullet but is one more tool in our toolbox. It's one more talking point to bring up when you contact your state and national legicritters.
I'm trying to get the ball rolling in Llano County. Any help toward that end, especially with people in Llano County willing to talk to their precinct commissioners, would be most appreciated.

Someone needs to tell the legislature and our lt gov.Why?
Texas is a sanctuary state.

Wasn't it Effington county, Ill. that actually started the 2A sanctuary movement?Be careful, you may ruffle a few feathers, coming from IL (& CA) with ideas on how we ought to do things in TX.
wasn't dan Patrick recently talking about being okay with summary confiscation?We do. I do not think an anti-gun law has been passed for about 140 years.
