Dan, the Gun Man

On Tuesday, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee took the first step to advance a bill by state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston , that would allow legislators, statewide elected officials, some former legislators and some state employees to carry their concealed weapons in bars, churches and hospitals and at sporting events and other places they are currently prohibited — including businesses that post signs outside saying concealed handguns are prohibited.

“For a man who doesn’t like or trust government, he sure wants them heavily armed,” she says in amazement.

“Dan, Buddy,” Juanita hollers toward Austin, “I feel real bad about your lack of faith and your obvious physical shortcomings, but I don’t care who you are, you are not going to carry a gun this this beauty salon.  So, put that in your law and smoke it.”

“He does know that people are laughing at him, right?” she asks.
