1. That wasn't concealed carry. Nor does Luby's serve alcohol.
Luby's was the case that was used to bring shall-issue to Texas. A crazy guy drove a pick-up truck through the window and began shooting people. Suzanna Hupp had a gun in her car but had left it there because at the time Texas did not allow concealed carry. She was not able to shoot back at the guy and watched helplessly as her parents were killed. She was instrumental in getting shall-issue concealed carry passed in Texas after this incident.

You FAIL dramatically on this one.

4. Don't forget that it got Ann Richards thrown out and what's his name in as Governor.
IIRC, She refused to sign a CCW bill several times. One of the major reasons she lost a re-election bid was her refusal to even consider it.

Then "you know who" was elected. Another great gift from the gun control side.

Thank you all so very much for those un-fucking-intended consequences!

Big Time Fail on This One - Luby's is the case cited in favor of CCW.

Susan Gratia Hupp who was a law abiding citizen that day and left her gun in her car only to have her dad gunned down in front of her & her mother also gunned down got herself elected to Texas legislature on this issue and was instrumental in getting Texas CCW law.

Suggest you read her book.

From Luby's to the Legislature: One Woman's Fight Against Gun Control

On October 16, 1991, Suzanna Gratia Hupp witnessed the tragic shooting of 23 people at Luby’s Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, among them her parents. Ironically she had decided against carrying a small revolver—that could have dramatically changed the day's events—in her purse that day out of a fear of losing her chiropractor’s license if caught possessing a weapon. In this autobiography, she chronicles her evolution from a small-town chiropractor into a national icon for the right to armed self-defense. Her transformation into a high-profile, gun-rights activist began when her impassioned calls for the right of citizens to carry guns for self-protection thrust her into the middle of the gun-control debate. She repeatedly testified under oath against the ineffectiveness of gun-control laws that, in her opinion, disarmed law-abiding citizens, making them potential victims of criminals who did not obey the law. This position on gun legislation paved the way for a decade-long tenure as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, where, in addition to championing Second Amendment and privacy rights, she served as a member of the House Rural and Veterans and Military Affairs Caucuses, Chair of the House Select Committee on Child Welfare and Foster Care, and Chair of the Human Services Committee.

6. That massacre , and the reaction by the vast majority of persons
Who in your mind are quite daft , brought nationwide attention to the assinine carry laws that only allowed the bad guys to be armed , and ushered in the era of concealed and then open carry .

You sure can pick 'em .
