I read an article from the Economist (2016) website reporting that Texas has just implemented public open carry law this past January 2016 as Texas solution for gun violence.

I am more afraid in inadequate gun’s safeguards, resulting in costly intentional/unintentional family tragedies. All people get upset at least once in their lifetime. When upset people have guns, they might react urgently and irrationally. There are some things that are beyond our control. That is where we need to grow our faith in God and not in guns. Defense can become offense when person’s storage and use of guns becomes unsafe against ourselves and other individuals at home.
