The Second Amendment Video

Gun holsters are important carrying accessories for firearms. They offer convenience, safety, and protection and help keep your piece concealed yet accessible as needed. There are many different types of gun holsters you can choose from, depending on the type of firearm you are carrying. Revolver holsters are practical purchases because of their many advantages. Here are reasons why you should invest in a good gun holster:

• Holsters cover the trigger, guard. Put a gun in anyone’s hand and their index finger will immediately find the trigger. Gun holsters keep your gun from accidentally going off, whether inside your pocket or when you take your pistol out.
• Gun holsters keep your weapon stable and secure in its place, whether you choose to carry concealed or in the open.
• They prevent constant loading and unloading at the beginning or the end of the day. With a gun holster, you can comfortably leave your gun loaded and ready for action.
• Gun holsters aid in concealment. In fact, there are holsters that are specially designed to help you carry your piece seamlessly.
• They help you keep yourself comfortable as you carry a potentially dangerous weapon around.
• All while keeping your gun accessible and close to your body.
• Gun holsters help protect your gun from precipitation and moisture, which can be extremely damaging to the finish and the overall quality of your firearm. Sweat and humidity can cause your gun to deteriorate prematurely especially when constantly exposed to wetness. This diminishes the life of your investment.
• Gun holsters protect you from accidental discharge, especially those that are equipped with different kinds of safety features.
• Holsters help you keep your weapon close by in case of emergencies.
• They help support and protect your piece as you carry them or keep them in your safe.

When Texas Legal Open Carry begins in January of 2016, you’re not welcome at Whataburger restaurants.

“Whataburger supports customers’ Second Amendment rights and we respect your group’s position, but we haven’t allowed the open carry of firearms in our restaurants for a long time (although we have not prohibited licensed conceal carry). It’s a business decision we made a long time ago and have stood by, and I think it’s important you know why,” Atkinson said.

“From a business standpoint, though, we have to think about how open carry impacts our 34,000+ employees and millions of customers,” Atkinson continued. “We serve customers from all walks of life at more than 780 locations, 24 hours a day, in 10 states and we’re known for a family friendly atmosphere that customers have come to expect from us. We’re the gathering spot for Little League teams, church groups and high school kids after football games.”

“Today I am proud to expand liberty in the Lone Star State,” said Governor Abbott in a press release.

“By signing these bills into law, Texans can be assured that their Second Amendment rights will be stronger and more secure than ever before.”

We don’t have enough kids anymore and the Muslims have many, many more.  It’s true in Europe and it’s true here in America.

They don’t have to defeat us in battle. They will overwhelm us demographically. The wave is already building. They’ll just out vote us.

Watch “The Changing Muslim Demographics video.”
