Concealed Handgun Licenses: Finally, Texans Can Apply Online

• Buckley- Yes, more and more armed law-abiding citizens does in fact make society safer. It's a common sense thing, you wouldn't understand.

• Very little, and you disappoint not one bit, Early ;))

• Buckley- Damn it, how much do really expect from a boozing, drug-addled, illiterate, hair-triggered temper, hilbilly squid for fuck's sake?

• Early, think you sorta missed the point, big fella. More guns make for more security and a safer society? That's your thought apparently. So extrapolate, my man. If everyone is packin' heat, and concealed heat at that, it's going to be what? Safer here? Think 'lil friend, think.

• Sandra-you ignorant slut(you started the name calling) Log off from TMZ, head on over to Wiktionary, and look up sarcasm. As for your lame attempt to "out" me as a creationist, I'll refer to Bill Hicks talking about the dinosaur blocking the disciples path. Predictably, patently bitchy

• Thought experiments don't include data, dumbass. That's why their called thought experiments. At least, you know something about the scientific method though. Earth: 12,00 years old? Willfully, woefully ignorant.

• Diego: Literal? Yes, delayed in development. Pejorative? Yes, the new go-to word for douche bags. Oh wait, HP blog comment trolls(right term?) have decided that using the term douche bag thus makes one a douche bag. Sorry, I am still getting used to commenting rules. As for your thought experiment: The answer to both is the data provided is inconclusive. One for you: If a sanctimonious liberal is in a forest, and is unable to see it for the trees, and Code Pink is not their to protest the cruelty of it all, would anyone give a shit?

• Early Cuyler: do you know the word "literal"? One could apply the pejorative meaning to you apparently, and not be far wrong. An inanimate object....nice one! "Guns don't kill people do." Let's help your Reason, with a thought experiment: If everyone is armed, and armed in a concealed manner, does gun violence increase or decrease? Does the chance of accidental gun deaths increase or decrease?

• Diego, as you are obviously a liberal, I am shocked that you would use such a offensive term as retarded. Where is your tolerance and diversity? Furthermore, how exactly does an inanimate object cook up these so called small disasters that keep you up all night? Here is a simple recipe for you my friend: 1 part Common Sense 3/4 lbs. of Education 1/2 tsp. of Courage pinch of Rationale Add ingredients together, apply liberally to butt until head is removed.

• I think Pete should have to go to the courthouse to get a permit before he's allowed to assemble or write something in a newspaper or on the Internet.

• Concealed firearms: just more evidence this state is retarded in the literal sense of the word. Recipe for many small disasters.

• glad someone pointed out what's going on here

• Thanks Jeff, you perfectly illustrate my point for me. A broad vocabulary is not a bad thing you know. I apologize if I made you get on Wikipedia for the fifteenth time today to look something up...

• Ooo: Someone got to use their word of the day.

• Reading some of these blogs makes me wonder if eugenics might not have been such a bad idea after all.

• Yeah, PVH missed the entire point.

• Not "obtaining a permit for carrying a concealed firearm" online, obtaining the application forms. One still has to go thru the training and take the shooting proficiency tests to get their CHL.
