Concealed Carry Inside TX State Capitol

God Bless Texas

Carried my trusty Colt throughout my state capitol building.

They just swipe your CHL card instead of making you go through the metal detectors.:)

That' s what I love about Texas. :D

Nice photo too!

Man, Texas makes me proud!

Thanks, but I borrowed that pic from another fellow Texas patriot at the 2nd Amendment rally last Saturday.

The pic I took isn't nearly as good. :o

Visited Olympia,Washington last year. Went to the Capitol Building carrying. There are no guards or metal detectors. You just walk right in,go to the chambers everywhere.

And fantastic chandeliers! Every Capitol should be run like this. Congratulations,Washingtonians.

Eat your guts out New York and Illinois politicians.

Let's see... Texas... the state that requires you to obtain a permit which you have to pay the government for to conceal a handgun, which is the ONLY way you can carry it for self-protection. Exactly what is so great about that?

NOT the only way to carry for self protection, but I feel your rage ;)

Ask someone from Illinois or New Jersey ... or New York.

Are you from the state Capitol with no metal detectors and OC through the entire state?

Only 5 states don't allow OC. I live in one , the OP lives in another.

The Texans are calling out New Jersey now. Head for the hills! :D

Havent done it yet but real soon

may make a trip to the capital just to experience gub'ment done right :)

As mentioned above, we can carry in our state capitol in Olympia Washington. Unlike Texas though, we can carry concealed or open.

...and we have. :D

It boggles my mind that some states don't allow OC. Seems like a good enough reason to raise a stink right there. Pretty obviously denying the Constitution.

Eh, I wouldn't open carry if it was an option.

Paying for the permit/taking the class/waiting...I disagree with all of that noise though.

TX isnt as "wild west free" as some states and we don't have squat for public land, but its got more going for it than any other state out there. That being said...there are some other great states as well.

TX is definitely the leader of the free states though. (Not just on gun rights issues).

Thank God I was born here in Texas!:D
