I just sent this letter to Houston DA Chuck Rosenthal.
"Sir,
Your stance on the enforcement of the Texas handgun travel law is unacceptable. The intent of the State Legislature and Governor in passing this law revision was and is very clear. Your declaration of intent to arrest and prosecute drivers without CCL’s found to be carrying firearms in their automobiles is just as clearly an effort to disregard the will of the people of Texas and Harris County as reflected in the State Legislature. In doing so you are in direct violation of your sworn duties. All data show that the restriction of gun possession leads to higher, not lower crime. The Bill of Rights guarantees each American Citizen the individual the right to keep and bear arms. Your decision in this case not only thwarts will of the Texas Legislature, but flies in the face of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Your disrespect for the will of the people is both shameful and arrogant. Your Liberal agenda will not succeed.
Enjoy your brief day in the sun, it will not last. You may rest assured that you will not be re-elected to office. We gun owners will actively campaign against your re-election.
Sincerely
Will Malven The Tin Ear http://mensnewsdaily.com/blog/malven"
Oh I know ....the fix it was for the first few HAT /HOT FReepers and info for the rest of my banglist.....
Stay safe !
Gee...I can't imagine a DA asking all law abiding citizens to "consider all possible scenarios"....
The criminals all disregard the laws...Mr. DA.... Duh! They aren't called DA for nothing.....
Thanks for the ping, but I do not live in Harris County, so Rosenthal probably does not care what I think. I am still waiting on my Concealed Carry permit, but the wheels of the State Bureaucracy turn slowly.
Sounds pretty doggone clear to me.
They need to take it a step further by making the law "is traveling" instead of "presumed to be traveling".
It will be ironic if they do take it a step further with a new law because of the abuse by jerks like that.
Houston Area Texans......HAT
Heart of Texas ......HOT
All freepers.....:o)
Stay safe
