I've seen 2 open carries since that was passed here. 1 was an off duty cop shopping with his family who didn't feel safe without wearing his copgear. The other was some dungeons and dragons gnome looking old man with a very small pistol in a full sized pistol holster. Just rattling around in there.




Was pretty hilarious tbh.

About a week after a cop got shot at a Home Depot, I saw an old dude cosplaying Sam Elliot hanging around the entrance to a Home Depot with a big pistol on his hip. This was a different Home Depot from where the shooting happened, so I don’t know if he was there to protect all Home Depots from future shooters, or if he just wanted to while the time away.

Yeah, Julian talking about potentially running when he didn't even want to put in the legwork to fun for governor (or even Senate) has soured my opinion of him quite a bit. Same with others I know who are into Texas politics.

Probably he is rich or thinks he will be, and therefore his perceived class interests align with the GOP and he doesn't expect them to go full fash such that his wealth no longer insulates him from the realities of bigotry.

Based on numerous conversations with co-workers, I think it's basically an inability to connect with the wider world at large as long as they get to drink beer, drive big trucks, and mow the lawn in relative comfort. Then they get goosed by some scare tactic like abortion or immigration, or a possible reduction in those aforementioned comforts by even the slightest percent. Not supporting Republicans means that they will lose their way of life. It's a goddamn cult that has no intention of any change, even if it's an improvement.

There's also a heaping dose of "God has this, so who cares?"

I must inform you this cosplaying Sam Elliot moved to Texas six months ago from Connecticut.

I don't want to *understate* the amount of anti-Muslim bigotry in the Republican Party, because there is a lot, but I also think the party official might also view this as a loud minority who don't represent the party. More specifically it's Sara Legvold up to her usual antics.

A work buddy who moved to Tarrant specifically because it was conservative county pulled off a gold medal performance of mental gymnastics to avoid confronting that this was something happening in his county party and ended the routine with some deflection.

I finally got him to a point where he said he'd email his precinct chair and tell them that they need to vote this down on 2019-01-10, but I somehow doubt he'll actually do it.

The time I saw the cop was literally going into a home depot. How long ago did one of them get shot there because that might explain it :laffo:

e: googled it, happened a few months ago

the guy I saw was doing it like 2 years ago so maybe he was right to be scared after all :ohdear:
