Do you think you have a good chance of pulling it off, or are you fighting the good fight as part of a more comprehensive activism portfolio?
It was difficult getting started. Not too many legislators showed any interest because we weren't the TSRA and we couldn't get the TSRA to support us. Once the billboard went up in Austin and the news articles came out, regular texans took notice and the amount of correspondence to legislators has been immense. It might even have more support than TSRAs concealed campus law they want passed.

What we want with open carry is no license and no extra restrictions like PA, WI, or KY has, meaning that we don't want to be told that open carry is legal but prohibited in Dallas, or that we can carry openly but in a vehicle it must be in the glove box unless you have a CHL.

Thanks. I think we have a great shot because it now has the governers support.
