Texas Tribune

quote:

Texans can carry handguns without a license or training starting Sept. 1, after Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday signed the permitless carry bill into law.

House Bill 1927 eliminates the requirement for Texas residents to obtain a license to carry handguns if they’re not prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun. The signing was reported by the Texas Legislature's official website, which tracks the progress of legislation. Abbott's office has announced a ceremonial bill signing of the bill and other gun-related legislation at 11 a.m. Thursday.

Abbott's signature seals a win to conservative activists who have long sought the measure without success. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and other Republicans who were initially noncommittal about the bill were under immense political pressure this session from conservatives and gun rights advocates, who have long lobbied the Texas Legislature for permitless carry but historically struggled to win support.

Gotta love the lib rag, TT.



Abbott’s pulling out all the stops, knowing he’ll likely face three challengers (Don Huffines, Allen West, maybe Chad Prather) in the GOP primary next year.

Unbelievable that Alabama's legislature didn't pass this.

Only one that can beat him is West. The other 2 have no chance in hell.

I think the argument goes that open carry intimidates or scares people. It’s a weak argument IMO.

I don’t mind open carry but for me personally, I’d rather walk quietly but carry a big stick. I don’t want someone to know that I’ll take care of business until they need to know. Open carry as a law is nice because it removes the concern about printing.

What’s the timeframe on that? I’ve been holding out waiting for the result before I send in my dues to LSP.

Here's how you know if someone is dishonest:
Do whites and blacks commit violent crimes with firearms:
1.) At the same rate per capita
2.) At different rates, with whites committing more violent firearm crimes per capita than blacks.
3.) At different rates, with blacks committing more violent firearm crimes per capita than whites.

imo I wouldnt open carry around civilization bc it just seems absurd. aside from the potential intimidation of sheep it makes yourself a target of the wolves if anything were to go down.

now if im in the outdoors or something who gaf

ETA - CC is much more appropriate
