The cost to taxpayers of interim elections is a problem for a state that has willingly accepted being under siege by the Tea Party whackadoodle brigade whose mantra of "no guvmint; no taxes" is its justification for whatever it's trying to justify.

Grisham is now trying to convince the Texas legislature that openly carrying handguns, just like in the Wild West, is also the citizens' rights.

Would there be the same level of Second Amendment concern if a Black or Hispanic gang strapped on weapons and marched through white suburbia-- just peaceful-like, y'know. Just to educate the folk about the right to carry guns.
