Texas Senate approves bill allowing Texans to carry guns for week after natural disasters

[sandensea]

The Texas Senate on Sunday approved a bill that would allow any Texan who can legally own a firearm to be able to carry it either open or concealed for seven days after the state declares a natural disaster, The Dallas Morning News reported.

The bill, which was narrowly passed 16-15, has been hotly contested. Three Republicans voted against the measure, including Sen. Joan Huffman, R- Houston.

The paper reported that she questioned House Bill 1177’s effect on policing after a powerful storm.

“It’s really, really poor public policy that is not well thought out,” she said, according to the paper.

Disaster victims will be shot on sight.

Lost your home? Tired? Hungry? Come any closer and you'll be dead, too.

Survived the tornado? You won't be so lucky a second if you come on my property.

NO TRESPASSERS!

NO Blacks!
NO Mexicans!
NO Foreigners!
NO Revenuers!
NO Feminists!
NO Libruls!
NO Disaster Victims!
