Welcome to Tom Gresham's Gun Talk.

High Calibur Talk Radio. All right, welcome back to Gun Talk, High Calibur Talk Radio.

All right, welcome back to Gun Talk. 866 Talk Guns is our number.

I'm Tom Gresham.

We're talking about guns today, and specifically about gun rights as well as particular guns. And along those lines in Texas, a bill is making its way through the legislature there.

Well, let me back up.

Conceal carry in Texas, they call them CHL, conceal handgun license.

When you have a concealed handgun license in Texas, there are places that you cannot carry your gun, sensitive places, whatever.

There's a bill working its way through that would say that's all well and good, but we,

legislators are more important.

We are more valuable.

And frankly, this is me putting my spin on.

Our lives are more important or more valuable than your lives.

So legislators, senators and representatives, would be able to carry in the places that you mere peons, you mere mortals, would not be able to carry into.

Get me started on that.

Well, a voice of reason has emerged out of all of this,

and that's Texas Senator Brian Birdwell from Granbury, Texas.

And we're fortunate enough to have Senator Birdwell join us right now.

Senator Birdwell, thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you, Mr. Gresham.

My honor to be with you this afternoon. Please, it's just Tom, okay? Yes, sir. All righty. And by the way, I've been to Graham Berry, and I've been over there. I've got some friends that live in Borland Estates. I'm a pilot fly into fun places there. So you're in a lovely part of the world there.
