Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has expressed her support for an “open carry” law in Texas.
The polls must be looking pretty ugly:
I hope Wendy Davis' San Francisco, Manhattan, and D.C. donors know about her professed support for open carry.

Wendy Davis supports open carry? Thank you, gods of irony. cc: @piersmorgan @MomsDemand @markcglaze Go on. I'll wait. #desperate

Hi @PiersMorgan. When will you condemn right-wing nut Wendy Davis for her anti-children stance of supporting open-carry?

I'd be more impressed if @WendyDavisTexas changed her position on abortion to "pro-carry."

if @NRA doesn't follow this up with a national ad campaign touting #WendyDavis endorsement of open carry, they're doing it wrong #tcot

Wendy Davis has to "support" the NRA if she wants to be considered in Texas. Good thing texans are smarter to know a fake.

Needless to say, there is some disappointment on the Left. Davis’ support for late-term abortion made her a hero to many but her sudden support for the right of law-abiding citizens to carry guns is going too far:
.@WendyDavisTexas Hard to support someone who backs open carry, anywhere. Even if they are a #RepRights champ.

@politico @WendyDavisTexas supporting open carry gun laws disappoints me.

@WendyDavisTexas you just lost my support with your #opencarry stance. I want my donation back! #disappointed #gunsense

Disappointed in @WendyDavisTexas for supporting the Open Carry Law. It's dangerous and unnecessary.

@WendyDavisTexas I am very disappointed to read that you support open carrying firearms. I strongly disagree. You've lost my support

@WendyDavisTexas sad that you have decided to pander to the NRA. as a Mom, you should be ashamed of your stance on guns. #momsdemandaction

The head of “Unite Blue” in Texas says Dems should just deal with it and get Davis elected:
All I can say is Grow Up! This is why Dems in TX lose! Not every Dem will think like you! Vote #TeamWendy! @JimmyPrinceton @eriContrarian

Davis will probably maintain most of her previous support:
Wendy Davis is now pro-open carry, but Leftists will still support her because abortion is their religion, and she’s lying anyway.
