Kneejerk critics of NC gun bill: "We never cease to be amazed at how liberals obfuscate the issue of gun control. We're seeing another variation with SB 34, the Castle Doctrine. Either these people, including some of our local leaders and the Washington Daily News, are either disingenuous or severely uninformed. For example, the WDN on Saturday ran an editorial critical of the proposed legislation in which they say: "where the bill goes awry is in its application to the workplace." Our local District Attorney opined the same complaint when he said he worries that someone would take a gun to Wal-Mart and get into an argument with someone and as a result of "harsh words being exchanged" would shoot them. But if you actually read the bill neither of these concerns are legitimate."


Texas Gun Laws: "Current Texas gun laws makes Texas campuses weapons-free zones but the famous gun-friendly state seems poised to pass a bill that lets college students and professors carry concealed weapons on college campuses by those who are permitted to do so. The campus gun bill was passed by the Senate in 2009 but failed to go through the House. The bill has a greater chance this time because more than half of the members of the House signed on as coauthors of the bill. Under current gun laws, Texas state allows anyone over 21 who passes a computerized background check and completes a 10-hour course is eligible. Lawmakers believe that the bill would help make college students and professors safer because armed students could return fire when a crazed gunman starts shooting at them."
