Correct on both points, Doug.  Nonetheless, that there are any restrictions at all on gun ownership and usage in this state is a surprise.

Isn't there a historical reason for it? Going back to the settler and new territory days

No idea- the article I read didn't go into historical detail, just noted that open carry of handguns is illegal here and that activists are trying to change the law.  It also mentioned that there have been attempts to change it in the past, but the Legislature has never gone for it, surprisingly enough.

That's expected to change the next time it comes up, though.  Texans do love guns, and frankly, it's not a law that get enforced often.  Part of my surprise stems from how often I see people openly carrying their handguns.  And if it's allowed in highly restrictive states like Connecticut and Massachusetts, it's hard to convincingly argue that Texas shouldn't go along with the 44 states that do allow it.

Just noticed the size of my bosses feet! I'm a uk9. I said "no wonder you can't buy any fucking shoes".

It's official: I have lost 10 kilograms since summer 2k13… I still look like a truckload of ugly that toppled and ended in a really ugly lake filled to the brim with really ugly fish, but at least there's less of me!..

Great job Eli! Looking good!

(I think I found about 5 of those kilograms under my shirt. Any chance you want them back?)

Even though my iPhone can literally fit INSIDE the display area of this beast WITH ROOM, I am in love with Gargantua, my massive Windows Phone. As a lifelong Microsoft hater, this is a pleasant surprise.
