A measure long sought by conservative activists allowing Texans to carry handguns without a license is on the cusp of becoming law after the Texas Senate approved a compromise on the bill Monday, sending it to Gov. Greg Abbott.

Abbott has said he would sign the permitless carry proposal into law.

"We should have 'constitutional carry' in Texas," Abbott told North Texas radio host Rick Roberts in April.

Just before midnight Sunday, the House approved the deal, hashed out behind closed doors, in an 82-62 vote. The Senate approved the deal Monday in a 17-13 vote.

The criminals have been doing it for years. It's time to allow law abiding citizens to carry without needing to pay a fee to get government permission.

I totally agree with this in principle.

My only reservation is the baw who is not trained or respectful of the nature of the tool and starts to carry.

The first accident that happens will trigger non stop RREEEEEEEEEEEE!

Im more intrigued my the "Suppressor Freedom" act than constitutional carry. It just passed the house and senate and is waiting on Abbott to sign it. LINK

As far as constitutional carry goes, I believe that people should have to take a class prior to carrying. With all the laws and consequences that come with pulling your firearm, people need to know what will/can happen to them.

My ideal setup would be for the sheriff's offices to offer the class for free coming out of their community outreach budgets. Then the permit be 'shall issue' rather than 'may issue'. This would still ensure people know the laws and consequences of carrying while removing the cost (personal tax) associated with obtaining a permit.

I know its not a popular opinion, but I stand by it.

My senator, Jane Nelson, was a very reluctant vote for this bill. She was not in favor of it but went along with it.

This is what you are supposed to do. Vote the will of the people, even if you have personal troubles with it.
