In today’s episode, Emily breaks down her fears of owning a gun and why her family has had to use it, twice in the last year. What is up with these past couple of years? Small town Texas doesn’t seem so safe anymore. Emily and her husband used to live in Chicago proper and never came close to this many run ins. Emily speaks to the current gun laws in Texas, the current environment around owning guns and some ideas on what needs to change if the Texas senate passes the House Bill 1927 which allows anyone over the age of 21 to carry a gun in public without any additional license.
