Texas, along with 40 other states, was a shall issue state. For the most part, this doesn't change much it just removes some bureaucracy. It may make it harder for Texans to legally carry outside of their own state, unless others follow suit. It's at that point we would ask what could possibly go wrong (everything).
Gun control

It's amazing. You need a license to drive, have a dog, get married, vote (especially in red states), cash a check, etc. But to own a gun? Nope. If the Dems ever get a majority they should just ban ammo. Nothing in the sacred 2A about ammo, just the arms.
Did Gary Johnson walk into the wrong room?
In 2021 that like a MAGA room.
except they would cheer for voting licenses.
That’s what I think they get this wrong, anyone carrying a concealed gun should have training and testing to see if they can actually use a handgun and for me a most they should be able to hit a target at specific distance.
Going back to the age old point, if that guy wants it to go back to the time where the 2nd Amendment was written...
MUSKETS FOR EVERYONE!
Nothing that was made after 1791.
At what point does this stop making sense to Republicans?
Could be in so many threads.
8 people killed.
When the NRA stops funding them.
Exactly what is he trying to allude to here? Vaccines = shootings? That people who are more likely to get vaccinated are also more likely to be shooters?
Prayers and thoughts from the US politicians.
Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaw!
Because of course she needed to be armed whilst riding a bike with her child. Of course she needed to shoot an innocent puppy. Of course she ended up shooting her own child.
Murica!
And yet still people advocate for gun rights and carry laws.
Why shoot at the puppy at all? What the actual feck was she thinking? Place is fecked.

That's mental. The dog wasn't being aggressive and even seemed to be on the owner's property.
And the dog owner got a ticket. So stupid. Since it's Texas it is likely he ends up in more trouble than the mom.
Absolutely fecking backwards to say the least!
The only way he can reduce the trouble he's in is by shooting the motorcycle with a shot gun.
What the feck did I just read?

Wouldn’t have happened if the dog was armed.
Beyond help some of them.
I'd migrate out if i were them

God knows that's what this country needs. Good dogs with guns.
The more I read through that article the more I was certain that these two kids were white. I'm not trying to turn this into a racist issue but my mind was just going there.
All dogs are good dogs.
Also, I would trust the judgement of most dogs over that of most humans.
Finally, as a plus the rabbit and squirrel population would plummet, at least until the squirrels realized that only a squirrel with a gun can........
Actually, in this case it should have been the 5 year old that was armed since he was the one shot. I am pretty sure that 50% of GOP Texans would have no issues with an armed 5 yo.
It's good that she's been charged. Hopefully they throw the book at her. It takes a real idiot to think they can control bike with one hand and a gun with the other.
Probably no hands.
There are no laws against open containers in Texas, so she probably had a 40 in each hand
In my younger days I could ride for miles with no hands. Shooting a pistol in any direction other than directly forward would knock you over immediately and even straight forward could cause a loss of control due to the recoil causing a weight imbalance. You could maybe do it with a .22 but I'll let someone else try it. Here's what I think contributed to her horrible accuracy:
1. If she trains, she trains using a two handed weaver type stance and doesn't do a lot of one handed bullseye style shooting, so she has little idea how recoil is going to affect her balance and control.
2. Shooting right handed and controlling the bike with your left hand is a recipe for disaster. Follow up shots are going to be hard to place on a staionary target, let alone a sentient, moving one. Women are crap at cycling too, (sorry ladies, it's mostly the truth, at least when it comes to balance). Even if we reverse the control set up and she shoots left, steering with the right it's still going to be messy.
3. As soon as she fires, it's chaos. The dog will panic, her kid will panic and her lack of control due to her bike now going in some kind of wavy trajectory only makes the subsequent shots more reckless. She probably banged at least one out unintentionally due to the bike being out of control.
All in all a fecking giant mess and she's lucky it wasn't worse. Hopefully the dog owner sues her as well.
It's Florida. This was not even in the top 50 strangest things that happened in Florida that night. It's Florida.

1. I think we can safely assume that responsible gun ownership, including training, is not in her wheelhouse.
2. Article said it was a small caliber gun, but she still probably lost control which his how it ended up being aimed at the kid.
3. It's America, so they will likely sue him. I am dead serious.
Exactly.
