FORT WORTH — Some Republicans heading to the state GOP convention here next week plan to bring something they haven’t in the past — their long guns and black powder revolvers.
Leaders of the movement to make open carry of guns legal in Texas are asking supporters to attend the Texas Republican Party convention and tote their long guns or pistols outside the Fort Worth Convention Center.

they should drop bullets!
If flame throwers aren't "firearms", then you really don't understand the 2nd Amendment. And they get to find out if the local Fire Marshall is a "Gun-Grabbing Commie"!
Sure, there could be unfortunate accidents, but you know, hammers are dangerous too.
