GOA blows it again with facts...

I know it is not important... but I just got an email from them announcing Texas passed constitutional carry and the guy who runs GOA made another boo boo...

He wrote:

"Texas Becomes the 21st Constitutional Carry State!

Dear JUST:

I have great news to share with you.

Texas just became the 21st permitless carry state, and this marks the largest state to join the Constitutional Carry Club!

Last time I checked Alaska is a tad bigger than Texas...... and it has constitutional carry too....

move this to politics if need be.... I just thought it was funny... couple years ago they called Mississippi "the Palmetto state"

Or lack thereof

State . . . Area
Alaska . . 663,267 sq mi
Texas . . . 268,580 sq mi

Like you said . . . . just a tad. :wink:

Perhaps they meant by population?

Yes Alaska is bigger than Texas. But if they are not careful Texas' 29.2 million people will host a party and use up all of Alaska's ice leaving its 3/4 of a million people living in an area that rivals Rhode Island.

That was my interpretation, too.

Reminds me of the old joke: How do you make Texans cry? Tell them Alaska has been divided into 2 states and now Texas is the third largest state.
