I love it, a liberal's paradox. Do you take away his freedom to choose how he does business and in turn put more concealed handguns on the street? Oh man, A leads to B leads to C leads to A! |

@Draculya, If you would, refer to my previous post that highlighted the several areas where the State of Texas leads the Nation and in some instances the world. Let me reiterate, Texas had a gross state product of $1.332 trillion, the second highest in the U.S.
Texas's GSP is comparable to the GDP of India or Canada, which are the world's 12th and 11th largest economies, respectively. Texas' economy is the fourth-largest of any country subdivision globally, behind England (as part of the UK), California, and Tokyo Prefecture.
So in closing, no I would not say Texas is an average/middling kind of State. You should probably stick to worrying about Europe because you don't know what you're talking about. |

@xCYBERDYNEx so I think we can all agree it's a sort of average/ middling kind of state? |

PTPete, it's because he thinks we're all in cahoots with Muslims trying to instate sharia law and throw all Repubs into secret government prison camps. Which reminds me...

There are worse bits, such as Puerto Rico.

Oh no! I and all of my liberal (& otherwise undesirable) friends were JUST going to go to his neck of the woods for shootin' lessons! Bummer! I'm just going to have to bite the bullet--so to speak--and ask my Army Ranger uncle to teach me how to handle my 14 firearms. |

He may be constitutionally allowed to do that, but should he choose to, the constitution doesn't prevent him from being a complete ****.
And you can't argue with that. |

While I do not agree with what you say, I will fight to the death for your right to say it.
It is his choice to be prejudiced and he is free to do that. It is his business and no one can force him to train anyone he does not want to.

@GhettoNinja
It is perfectly acceptable for a private individual to do this (1st amendment). However, it is NOT acceptable and illegal for him to ask the govt to make such distinctions. |

@DromEd, I could also say that anyone who goes to that gun instructor after viewing that advertisement can not make a logical decision because this gun instructor is a stupid drat.
You have flawed logic. |

You know, all you people who agree with this moron and believe in ethnic or political discrimination should all just move to Iran or China. Hell, I think Old Jong-il has room for more backwards thinking neanderthals in N. Korea...go there.
They would love to have people who think so similarly to them.
You should go join the Taliban, because I am sure your views on women have only minor differences.
And fwiw, though it should have no bearing on the weight of an opinion, I do own two handguns. I carry them everyday because of where I work and the nature of my business. I see no need to carry like I am rambo, so I carry a simple .32 revolver. |

As some of you know by now, I am pro-gun and pro-personal liberties. However, that also includes my right to call this guy a douchebag and to not give him or any like him my business. Let him show how ignorant he is by advertising this. I'll go to a respectable and intelligent instructor somewhere else. |

I find it hysterical how some of you get so worked up over this. Mason TX has a population of about 2000 people and is hundreds of miles from anywhere. But you have joined one of the largest and fastest growing groups of people on Earth called "The Offended."
And he does make a point. You had what...a year and a half to decide who to vote for? You chose Obama? How the heck is he going to teach you to make what could be a life and death decision in a matter of seconds if you've already proven that you can't make a reasonable decision given hundreds of days. |

Yes this guy is a total jackass and in no way represents what the great State of Texas stands for. I was born and raised here and I can tell you that man is a caricature with his ten gallon hat and ass backwards political views. Trust me this idiot does not represent what real Texans stand for. |

@Altaru, you are simply an idiot. Considering how many defense conractors there are in Texas, I don't see that happening. Did I mention the nation's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility is located in Amarillo, Texas? Moron. |

@LazyMe484, cont/ Life is great where I live. Maybe you should get out more and stop watching so much television. Saying Texas is "pathetically underdeveloped" is incredibly naive. The gross state product of Texas is comparable to the GDP of your entire country. |
