"Open Carry" in Texas antics...

Karma can sure be a...well, you know.

This Dude Has Had A Really Bad Month

The ticket was for driving without a valid license. Kory doesn’t believe in valid licenses.

Kory Watkins is President of Open Carry Tarrant County (Fort Worth). He’s a gun exhibitionist, which is kinda like a pole dancer but the pole has a trigger.

To start the month off, there was a witty little visit from Missy Karma. Kory was out pitching hissy fits at a DUI safety checkpoint set up by Arlington police. Kory doesn’t believe in checkpoints so to make his statement, he screamed obscenities at the police while they were conducting the checkpoint. He also spent time warning drivers that there was a checkpoint down the road. So, of damn course, on the way home he gets rear ended by … yep … a drunk driver.

Groups Push For Texas Open Carry Bills As Activist Faces Double-Homicide Charges

Open Carry Texas gun groups are pushing Texas lawmakers for more "open carry" rights, even as a member of their community faces charges in a grisly double-homicide.

"We have so many gun bills that have been filed that we can't have anything but an open carry law pass next year," C.J. Grisham, founder of Open Carry Texas, told MSN.com. The push comes on the heels of an active murder case involving a prominent member of the controversial Open Carry Tarrant County group, who made headlines last year for terrorizing local businesses by openly brandishing firearms, sparking a frantic 911 call by employees at Jack in the Box.

Open Carry Tarrant County is definitely a part of the push toward legislation, despite prior claims that the group had been "disowned" for its radical behavior.

The push toward an open carry law comes on the heels of a brutal double-homicide involving two of the group's members. One is accused of murdering her husband and his daughter. The other is the first and only person she chose to call after the act.

On December 10th, open carry activist Veronica Dunnachie sent her two children to school and a third to a baby sitter before returning home to her estranged husband and stepdaughter, where she allegedly used one of her assault rifles to shoot them both to death.
