The Laws That Forbid
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
—Thomas Jefferson (quoting eighteenth-century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

RECALL: Taurus Curve
From Tooele Shooting Supplies’ FB Page:
Got a couple of the new Taurus Curve pistols today. Before they arrived, someone from Taurus called us to tell them we couldn’t sell them, and had to send them back to the factory… due to issues they refused to discuss.

Asking “which gun should I buy?” is about the same as asking “which vehicle should I buy?” There is no correct answer because it depends on the purpose and preference. For this post we will stick with handguns and cover rifles later.

Texas Senate Approves Open Carry of Handguns
The Texas Senate has given preliminary approval to allowing licensed open carry of handguns in the state.
The first major gun-rights vote of the legislative session came Monday after more than two hours of debate. A final vote to send the bill to the House is expected Tuesday.
Texas has allowed concealed carry of handguns since 1995, but a recent push for open carry has been taken up by new Republican leaders such as Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Texas is just one of six states that ban open carry of handguns. Abbott says he’ll sign an open carry bill into law if passed.
Gun-rights groups call the bill an important Second Amendment protection. Opponents say openly carrying guns intimidates the general public.
