Yes, Richards vetoed the law It cost her the election and paved the way for Dubya's career as President as well.
Democrats should take a note from this. Being an anti-gunner cost them a govenorship and the Presidency for 8 years.
Liberalism always contains the seeds of its own destruction.

She was an awful governor. The Insurance Department was an absolute disaster while she was in office.

It was around this time when I became more politically aware and knew exactly where I stood on the issues.

Another memorable part of Richards' rancid legacy was her meeting with Hillary! in Austin shortly before Richards allowed the Army to use tanks on the Branch Davidian church in Waco. Hillary! and Billy Jeff were impatient that the stand-off had dragged on so long. Setting fire to the building and burning 20 little children to death was their solution to the problem. Some legacy, Ma Richards. And a good thing to remember when people try to convince you that Hillary! would be a fine president.

Here in Houston if you leave your house without packing, you are taking a big chance.
My wife is getting her CHL and I never leave the house without my piece.

In Texas any business can post a sign that forbids the carry of concealed weapons in their premises. I know of no business in my area that post such a sign.
That particular restaurant (Lubys) is now a Chinese restaurant. I ate there last month. They do not have that sign in their restaurant. I was carrying and have no doubt that other patrons in the restaurant were carrying also. The right to carry is a good law.

I've seen a documentary about that woman who was in Luby's who later got the right to carry law passed. It seemed like she dedicated her whole life to passing that law. Not sure if her mother was killed or what, but the bad guy made a powerful impression on her.

(Cringe!) May I suggest you avoid Hollywood/gang slang, and call it a "sidearm", "pistol", "carry gun", "Glock", "45" or something professionally neutral instead of than "piece" "heat" "roscoe" etc.?

Richards and people like her are put out there only as fronts to entertain the people while the real work is being done in secret behind the scenes. But gimmicks only work so long and then they get old and tired; especially when Americans find out they are being scammed again and again.

It cost her the election and paved the way for Dubya's career as President as well. That it did. I don't think the Dims will ever learn.

Not sure if her mother was killed or what, but the bad guy made a powerful impression on her. If I'm not mistaken, both of her parents were killed.

Wasn't there an arsonal of guns and ammunition that the Dividians were going to use to blow up Texans. I believe that the only thing they could do was burn down the house. Remember this was a wacko cult. They did not listen to reason and yes unfortunately children died but the althernative would have been more deaths. It was a war and casualties happen. I was not as political as I am now when this happened so maybe some facts are CNN but not sure. I watched CNN occasionally but remember being glad that the house finally was burnt down and saved the U.S. from that group. Plus didn't they kill each other first anyway and put purple blankets on themselves or something. I know maybe I was nuts back then...not sure.

Chinese food now huh. When i live in Killeen 7-8 years ago it was something different. I'm not 100% sure it was a luby's, but it was def a cafeteria type place. Ate at that location many a time before I learned what happened there.
