So, Bubbie, you’re in a big damn hurry and you forget that you have a gun strapped to your hip.  Happens all the time, right? Especially when you’re in a big damn hurry to catch a flight to Vegas or Gulfport, Mississippi.

Well, the Texas Legislature has a cure for you!

Republican Rep. Drew Springer’s measure would protect a licensee from being arrested if he or she is caught in security with a handgun and immediately leaves the area.

So, you’re good to shoot somebody or even everybody until you get to the TSA booth, and by then, hell, you can take over the airport.

In the Lone Star State, it seems almost as common for travelers in airport security lines to forget they are carrying a handgun as it is for them to fail to take off their belts or shoes; Texas leads the U.S. in gun confiscations in airport security checks.

Texas airports confiscated 350 guns last year alone.  That means every damn day a Texan forgets he is armed.  That’s 350 Texans who aren’t gonna be any damn help at all when Obama comes to take over Texas because these gun-toting patriots have no idea they are gun-toting.  They’ll let you be herded to the Walmart secret tunnels before they remember they have a large handgun on their hip and by then it’s no help at all because it’s dark in those tunnels.

And what brought all this Guns For Free at airports stuff?

In 2013, Rep. Drew Darby was arrested in Austin after officers found a loaded pistol in his carry-on luggage that he said he’d forgotten about.

Yep, shirt check, tie check, laptop check, bag of Cheetos check, .357 check and forget.

You know what I wonder?  Does this also apply to Muslims or just white guys?  And exactly how man guns can you forget you have if you get caught?

Thanks to AlanInAustin for the heads up.
