I think (and so do some GOP congresspeople here) that once the law is challenged more narrowly and especially on this particular issue that it will get overturned.  It's just that the way it was presented to the court this time wasn't quite what would do it.  I will say that between this vigilante aspect and with the new non-licensed carry law, I'd quite possibly like to leave once retirement or work would change.  But maybe good to have a little patience as these things very well could change.  Clock is ticking, though.

I saw a version of that "authorized vigilante" justice tried in Venezuela around the mid-point of Chavez's reign and when things were not going well in global oil markets.  It was a bad idea there, and it never fully took hold in the truly sinister way that it could have gone.  There just wasn't enough support.  Over here in Texas, I sense something similar.  Educated Republicans around here have expressed some real misgivings about this, but the entire new law kind of got snuck through during the pandemic when people's political "eyes" were largely elsewhere.  It's a short-term win for some religious Republicans here, but I think it actually marks a signpost toward their eventual and somewhat sooner defeat.
