Sounds like good progress!
I read the bill as written for the vote in the House. The wording is not always clear. But it is an improvement.
However, although TX has not had Open Carry, it has always been legal to carry a gun in the glove box of an auto. It was considered an extension of your home.
It has been legal to carry a hand gun when hunting.
Hand guns were not outlawed by the citizens of the state. They were outlawed by the occupying officials after the Civil War.
Won’t go into that. It was not for the protection of the citizens, but for the protection of foreign representatives.
