Choosing to rob anyone in Texas is the act of an absolute moron. At least in Texas the 2nd isn’t unconstitutionally infringed by the treasonists like it is in other states. Victims ARE allowed to defend themselves rather than die so as to not offend the criminal.

When is Texas going to get Constitutional Carry? Or, as some call it, permit-less carry.
I was born and raised in Texas, Northwest of Denton.
But have lived here in Idaho for the last 20 years.
Here we have Open Carry and Conceal carry with a permit.
But that is changing soon. Our Senate just overwhelmingly passed Constitutional Carry, and it will pass the House in the next week or so. we are hoping our Governor will sign it into law in April.
That means any adult Idahoan, who does not have any criminal or mental restrictions, will be able to Conceal Carry without a permit of any kind inside or outside city limits across the state,
Agreed. As a proud Texan who lives in a highly civil and well mannered city, I still make sure I can defend myself everywhere I go, even walking my dog.
The risk of death is higher for the thug in Texas than is most States.

Texas requires a permit to open or conceal carry a handgun (outside of the above-noted exceptions). How is that not an infringement?
So open carry is legal in Texas now? That must be a sight to see.

Moot point, the date in question has passed.
God Bless Texas !
