Rick “nice hair” Perry is so awesome. He came out yesterday to say that Texans with concealed carry licenses should be able to carry guns anywhere, including churches, bars, courthouses, and universities. Houston Chronicle has an article about it. Nobody is introducing legislature to make any changes to the laws though, but it’s great that he’s coming out to say this.
NRA IRA is a good resource for keeping up with Texas gun laws. They’re usually how I keep up on concealed carry bills as they pass through the Texas lege. Perry just signed a bill that prevents the state from seizing guns and ammunition during emergencies, like Nagin and others did in New Orleans during Katrina. Castle Doctrine was signed into law and takes effect in September. There’s at least two other bills I’m watching closely, one which will allow CHL holders to carry a firearm in vehicle on work property and another to keep the knowledge of license holders private. Apparently liberal newspapers have a knack for getting lists of all CHL holders and publishing them in the paper. It hasn’t happened in Austin yet, but has happened in many other cities.
Three weeks without a drinking drop of soda now. I’m drinking less tea now, I think I’m down to four cups a day. I’ve tried all manner of “meal replacement bars” to suppliment my light breakfasts. I really want to like EAS bars, but the “chocolate” is so bland tasting. I’m thinking as I knock out the sugar I’ll get used to it, but not there yet.
I’m planning to head out to west Texas this weekend. I don’t know where I’m going to go yet. I’m so bored and sick of going to work every day and watching the weeks tick by, I just have to get out and go somewhere.
P.S. Alessandra Ambrosio is really pretty. She’s on my list of “hot girls I’d like to meet”.
