Armed Society: Texas lawmaker threatened
"Despite all the trouble, Nevarez maintained that the latest video wouldn't affect his decision.
"I'm not gonna let somebody dictate to me how I'm gonna vote on something by threatening my life," he said. "That's not the way the process should work. … It's a mockery of the process that somebody can do this and then the outcome's the way they wanted. They can always look to the fact that they applied this kind of pressure and say that's the result that I got."
Nevarez also said that regardless of the issue, he would vote against physical threats on principle.
"That's not the way anybody should dialogue about a bill, about anything," Nevarez said.
He also said that he likely would have supported some from of open carry had he not been threatened on the issue."
