It is a new year, and many are already aggressively tackling their resolutions, as am I. On the very first day on January, I spent the entire morning on assignment photographing for a friend who leads organisations Open Carry Texas (Dallas Chapter) and Texas Universal Carry, both civil liberties groups that push for gun rights here in Texas. I had the pleasure of being able to witness history as I was on the very stage where Texans hold rallies for a variety of issues ranging from abortion (another rally is coming soon), to anti-Muslim protests (remember the viral video where a deranged lady stole the microphone from a speaker during the Muslim capitol day?) and many other issues. January 1st was no different, as the new open carry law took effect, allowing all licensed handgun owners (those with either a Concealed Handgun License or a License to Carry permits) to openly display their modern handguns in most places. There are regulations to this new law, of course, stating that the handgun must be holstered on a belt (doesn't seem to define where the gun has to be however). Business owners have the choice to allow open carry on their property, only through use of proper signage, which can be legally purchased online. 

It was only a matter of time before Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made her way back to Dallas, Texas. It's been a while since she has visited Mountain View College, with one of her last major visit being back in 2008, during her first run for a Presidential office.

An estimated 1,500 attendees arrived, filling the room on a first-come, first-serve basis. The press was hot, and there were Hillary supporters everywhere you looked. Well, of course. It is Dallas.
