“We Have No Idea Who the Good Guy is”

Texans are one signature away from being able to carry their handguns in public without a permit.  And many members of law enforcement say permitless carry will make their jobs far more dangerous… and the consequences are coming.  The President of the Dallas Police Association says many officers are asking how they’ll even know the difference between the good guy and the bad guy.  And Michael Mata tells the Jasons he fully expects the number of violent confrontations between business owners and customers to grow as a result of the legislation.  And in this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons are also joined by Frederick Frazier, a McKinney City Council member and a longtime lobbyist for law enforcement issues who says no training plus no background check equals a recipe for disaster.  But what if you’re not a cop?  What should you expect?  Longer holds on 911 and slower response times are just the start of it.
