Pray Patrick’s right

- Mike Horridge

My disbelief and frustratio­n with our elected officials in Austin escalate daily. Every day we read about the growing number of wanton and merciless killings by people who have somehow acquired firearms. I don’t know if Dr. Charles Schwertner, the senator from Georgetown who is pushing for our “right” to carry without a permit, has ever treated a gunshot victim.

I hope for once that Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is right about something and there are insufficie­nt votes in the Texas Senate to pass this dangerous legislatio­n.
