16. Metal detectors would...
Edited on Thu May-21-09 05:04 PM by Baby Snooks
That is why we have them in our courthouses and other "public places" including our airports and our government buildings where no one is allowed to carry a gun except law enforcement.

There are incidents every day in this state involving guns and law enforcement never does say if the person had a license to carry the gun. I guess if you murder someone the point becomes moot doesn't it?

It's not less a murder just because you had a license to carry the gun. And I suspect quite a few did. It just isn't reported by law enforcement and so it just isn't reported by the media or included in reports on crime in Texas and how licenses to carry guns have reduced the crime rates. Probably because in fact they haven't.
