Medina's message includes some pretty drastic changes to state laws because she says private property ownership, and gun ownership are the essential elements of freedom.
"In Texas, we don't own anything because we pay these exorbitant property taxes," she explained. "So protect property by eliminating property tax in Texas.
Medina also says Texans should be able to open carry and not "have to jump through a bunch of hoops."
Debra Medina is looking pretty good to me now. She was a longshot when she entered the race with Rick Perry and Kay Bailey, but with talk like this she has risen to 24% in the poles. I am a big supporter of Open Carry in the State of Texas. The same Concealed Carry course could still be required for persons open carrying to weed out the people who shouldn't or couldn't be trusted. Along with the 8 hour course and shooting portion of the course there is also a background check of each applicant that is done by the FBI. This requires 2 passport pics and two sets of fingerprints and $140. I feel that all of these things are a good idea, some kind of control should be set forth to protect us from those who don't need to carry a weapon, period. I will be following this issue closely in the months to come as well as the property tax issue.
