Carrying a handgun was illegal... IN TEXAS... in 1991? Either this quote is missing some nuance, is flat-out wrong, or my brain is grossly mis-remembering general gun laws in Southern states from 30 years ago.

Surprisingly, open carry was not allowed until 2015 in Texas. Not sure of the history on their CC permits but Texas wasn't always as gun free as its reputation.

Here is an article that explains Texas handgun laws. Apparently, you couldn't carry a handgun at all until this event triggered the change.

The thing about Texas is that BITD lots and lots of folks carried long guns in their vehicles...and regardless of laws packed heat. From what my Lone Star friends tell me, nobody who lived outside the city limits gave two shits about the laws.
It was the same in North Carolina in the 60s and 70s...and into the 80s. Back then concealed carry was illegal but open carry was okay. You could put your handgun in its holster up on the dashboard of your car so it was visible.
Of course I remember fondly being able to buy Schlitz beer at 14 on the pier at Wrightsville Beach. Nobody carded anybody. The South was different then.

This is true. I was stationed in Texas in the early 90's and recall seeing a lot of rifles in the window racks of pick-ups. I think that was legal.

Here in Ohio, its also been legal for some time but ammo had to be in a separate location. We've been permitted to open carry for years and as of last year, we can now carry concealed without a permit.

Shotguns and rifles were always legal to carry in Texas...on your person or in your vehicle, mainly due to the hunting culture. You could have a pistol in your car if you were "traveling" which used to be defined as crossing at least two county lines. Now, all has changed....for the best.
Ok, I'll be that guy. The very idea of conceal carry permits is against "shall not be infringed".
The fucking state government making you pay to have the "right" to carry a gun on your person is beyond comprehension.

So a federal district court judge has issued a ruling. That Missouri's Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) is un-constitutional.
Here goes the fight again. Not just for us, but for everyone. There are 17 states with some form of 2A sanctuary status.

An international org, based on Switzerland, published a financial standard that American companies blindly used. This is how conspiracy theories gain traction, though lately they look less and less like "theories"...
Probably because of threatened lawsuits. Gentleman and ladies, this is how the fucking federal government will destroy 2A.
Not by 3 letter domestic terrorists taking guns but by companies on the pockets of government, slowly chipping away at plastic, ammo, purchases until guns are obsolete.
Us conspiracy theorists are not so nuts now.

If I wanted to control guns in the US, I would control primer manufacturing......would take some time....but would ultimately be effective.
