Title: Bill Could Restrict Possession of Guns in Parks
Post by: bigtex on February 13, 2013, 11:11:49 AM: Senate Bill 5739 would allow those agencies that have ownership over parks or facilities used for public recreational purposes to restrict the possession of firearms.

Here's the link to find your state senator:

Call them on the phone about this or write an email, but make sure you request a response. Thanks bigtex!

But open carriers would not. Gun free zones don't work well for law abiding citizens. Oppose this.

Yuck, no way. We have it pretty good here in Clark Co. - Benton and Harris are both Rs. And our US Congresswoman is Jaime Herrera Beutler - woof! She's one conservative hottie congresswoman. I really want a picture of her packin' a Colt Anaconda. :drool:
