Texas signs Constitutional Carrry Law allowing open and concealed weapons without permit.

Good.

I think Louisiana was considering it as well. But it naturally took its place behind Texas on this.

Because a license that teaches gun laws, ensures the person knows how to simply use it, and teaches conflict deescalation is such a slight to the 2nd amendment.

A lot of folks are going to learn that the carry laws have NOT changed. A couple beers with dinner at a restaurant and you’re in hot water.

I am 100% a steward of the 2nd amendment. I am 100% against untrained people toting firearms.

I feel like this just makes it more dangerous for cops. I was good with CCW license and the barriers to entry over this law

Permit was designed as a money generator first and foremost. I think the premise of no training is most people who will carry will take initiative to learn/practice with the weapon.

I think most people will still choose not to carry in public. You didn't need a permit to carry in a vehicle before so the danger level remains unchanged in that aspect.

Yeah….. because most criminals obey laws and never carry unless they’re permitted? It certainly makes it more dangerous for criminals as a few trigger happy news carriers will undoubtedly shoot someone. And I’m sure there will be some accidental discharges by idiots who don’t understand fire arms. But that’s the cost of freedom. Individual freedoms necessitates personal responsibility. The government shouldn’t subvert that.

Well, it seems to be a pretty difficult concept for criminals to grasp and they don't seem to care about buying, carrying and discharging guns legally... in fact, if you haven't been paying attention, there is a massive gun violence crime wave sweeping this state, on top of the already record amounts of thug gun murders the state traditionally has. So, if criminals are possessing, carrying and using guns no matter what the law says, why not change the law so the average citizen can protect themselves without fear of being arrested? The criminals have no fear of being arrested.

How naive

at thinking now untrained citizens will flood the streets with weapons.

Should we have licenses for all constitutionally-protected rights? Licenses for free speech, avoiding illegal searches and seizures, a jury of our peers, etc.
