Who can carry a gun in Texas? 

Ditto!!!

Same here! Because of two things. We had respect for others, and the assistant principals paddle was feared more than any rifle.😂

People's good paying jobs weren't going to India. Rich people paid more taxes. Our government and associated agencies weren't as corrupt.

We didn't have unsupervised internet access

As a Singaporean I agree, we have harsh punishments on a number of things and that deters A LOT of crime. It's why we have one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

Col. Jeff Cooper: "If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim."

It makes no sense to me that nonviolent felons are prohibited from having firearms. 1: they have already paid their debt to society. 2: for it to be a nonviolent felony, there can’t have been a gun or any violence involved in that person’s case. It makes no sense to say that a white collar criminal can’t have a firearm when a firearm literally had nothing to do with their crime. 3: the very thing that distinguishes a right from a privilege is the fact that rights can’t be taken away. No one in their right mind would say that a criminal shouldn’t have the first amendment rights to freedom of speech or any other right defined by our bill of rights. This law sets a dangerous precedent that only some people are allowed the rights that are clearly defined. If a person has truly proven that they are too dangerous to freely exercise the rights of every American, then they shouldn’t be released in the first place. But if they are considered safe enough to be free and around innocent people, then they are obviously safe enough to be able to exercise every right that is inalienable from every other American citizen.

@@abelfulton6800well said man!

by telling the officer for the officers safety she means so that if it ever comes to the officer searching your vehicle or your person that they don't shoot them selves accidently with a gun they didn't know was there. but then again as a criminal wouldnt you want the officer to shoot them selves. just more rules to make it harder for the law abiding citizens

True as far as more rules, but if I've done nothing wrong then they aren't gonna search me or my vehicle.@@willterrell852

So I could purchase a handgun at age 18?

You ever been to a favela?

Why should that be a surprise? Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand von Steuben (born Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin Louis von Steuben; September 17, 1730 - November 28, 1794), also referred to as Baron von Steuben was a Prussian military officer who was a Founding Father of the United States who played a leading role in the American Revolutionary War by reforming the Continental Army into a disciplined and professional fighting force. His contributions marked a significant improvement in the performance of U.S. troops, and he is consequently regarded as one of the fathers of the United States Army.

And give bad info.

the days before SSRi drugs

I think you got your finger right on the pulse of the problem. Don't see the root problems getting better any time soon though, with all the new communication technology it's harming our usual societal dynamics. Checking for mental health before gun purchases may reduce the number of crazies with their hands on weapons, but it won't stop them all, and it doesn't solve the root problems.

@@drx3373 Doesnt say much for supposedly being a Christian nation. I dont see many people who live or act like Jesus.

@@GregariousAntithesis US stopped being a Christian majority nation since 1950s. Majority of so-called Christians nowadays are Catholics that were forcefully baptized as a baby so they "inherit" their Catholicism and bible-poor Protestants that were peer-pressured into believer's baptism before graduating HS and at least go to church for GF/Easter/Christmas eve every year. The latest poll shows that we are somewhere between 5 and 10% Jesus' Christians left in this country, excluding sects like Mormons, Amish, etc. So, we are not a Christian nation by a long long stretch.

@@GregariousAntithesis I know, right? So much for being "christian"

@@drx3373 right. apparently the US is the only country with social media

Exactly. Since when do we need to be a well regulated militia license for hunting? Militia means citizen-soldiers!

2nd amendment exist for one reason, to keep the criminals in government in line...to protect the people FROM the government...there is ZERO ambiguity...ZERO!

Technically we had been hunting... The British tyrant overlords 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪

Shall NOT BE INFRINGED !!!!!!!

@@keithkillingsworth5674amen

I second that 😂!!!

And next to it another sign reads: Come in and you can take what you want, we choose not to protect ourselves against thieves. - Brazilian cop watching the news of the world. -

ok but i dont get the point of having big guns for common person . i think a small handgun is more then enough for self protection

@@shivam_singh_9999 If that is what you want, then fine--However, don't infringe on my rights.

@@shivam_singh_9999Why should you choose what type of gun I want? That’s like saying you can only buy a small car and not a big 4 door job.

@@shivam_singh_9999 The point is that "big guns" like AR-15s give the person holding it a better chance of defending themselves against someone, or even multiple someone's. In an actual gunfight you're going to be under an immense amount of stress and pressure and you'll probably miss a lot of your shots. Most criminals use pistols when they commit crimes, so its good to have an unfair advantage.

so to be sure, At 19, if I get a LTC, and legally purchase a second hand handgun, I can concealed carry?

@@jables611 yes in Texas, you can get your Texas License to Carry, and Yes you can now buy a handgun in the state of Texas. You will still be limited to what other states you can travel too with that handgun. But in Texas you will be legal.

I have a clean handgun but no LtC but my record is clean am I allowed to carry

@@seanguild576 in certain places yes, as long as your over 18

ITS CRAZY HOW THEY TRY TO ‘HIDE’ WHAT THE FEDERAL JUDGE RULED!

Well in europe guns are illegal we have no school shooters so I think it’s better to get rid of all the guns

luckily the sign prohibiting guns in businesses does not apply to licensed carriers, only non permitted carriers

Well in europe guns are illegal we have no school shooters so I think it’s better to get rid of all the guns

I agree

Good for you pal

Which is what everyone should be able to do!

Leosa is for former law enforcement officers

Nope. You were still convicted.

@@SOLDOZER If it was deferred then after he served out probation with no problems the cause is dismissed. No conviction.

@@RoadCaptainEntertain Nope. He was still convicted. The question on the form is "Have you evert been convicted of a felony?" The answer is YES.

No. The insurance is a scam.

you dont legally need insurance for your fire arm(s), its just something you might want up to you

You can still do that. It has been legal in Texas to have a firearm "not in plain view" inside of your vehicle for some time now. You just can't be a prohibited person, legally.

That is not a good argument. You need to be able to remove 2A. If not, all other “laws” will get removed eventually.

Life expectancy was because of infant deaths being counted. Medicene then was not as good as todays.

We had an army when the 2nd amendment was added, so whats your point? Also, your lies about states with fewer gun laws is wrong. Look at Chicago, DC, Baltimore etc. Obviously you didn't look it up. And driving is a privilege, not a right. Also, don't confuse the constitution as something that gives us rights as citizens, it doesn't! It tells the government what they can't do.

And airports too (as long as you’re not trying to go through security to board). Just to say “airports” like she did in the report is a little misleading. And technically, it’s not just federal buildings, at least in the case of the Post Office, it’s also their property (parking lot, as an example). And obviously that’s not just a Texas thing. Her report accuracy was marginal at best!

a lot of folks. I am an Instructor for Conceal carry and Home Defense and will be DPS certfied soon for TX LTC. The demand is never ending. That said, no one should have to pay the State for the right to self defense

I have USCCA, not the same insurance you think it is. And I get training all the time. Rifle training, CQB courses, handgun training.. your doing a disservice to yourself and your family if you just buy a gun and toss it in your safe

@@lolyourmad2181 You are a smart person, my point is the general population isn't and they lazy. They want to go buy a gun and leave where a kid might find it. Unfortunate reality.

@@Tusk_Tact They are paying for an education that could save them from tragedy. Glad business is good, but I'm still on the side of permits and mandatory training.

@@mrsjamessmom9044 What do you envision that mandatory training consisting of? I've been carrying here in TX since before Constitional Carry was a thing so I had to take that "mandatory" training. I can tell you from experience it wasn't what you are envisioning. I sat in a class for 6hrs watching videos and talking then took a written test that a 3rd grader could have passed. The shooting qualification was a joke and I'm fairly sure no one ever failed it in the few times I had to take the course. Now for that "right" i had to pay $75 to $100 each time to the Instructor and then turn around and pay the State of TX another $45 to process the form. It was clear to everyone that the process was just a money grab for the State. Being in the business I hear from folks all accross the Us and it's basically the same in their States as well. I don't think that is the "mandatory" training you envisioned but in reality it was never adequate. As an Instructor I am with you on the need for training but where I differ is it being mandated and pointless. I think the perception of State mandated training is that of military or police level, which it never was or should be

Is that you Kanye? 😂
