Didn’t I also read somewhere that “LICENSED” open carry was up for signature? LICENSED? WTH! Might as well add registered to it as well. Come on TX.
An open carry bill was passed yesterday and the Governor will sign it. Texas has a CHL (Concealed Handgun License) program, and the new law will change so that for CHL holders can open carry.
It is not Constitutional Carry, but it is a step in the right direction. We will keep pressing for non infringed keeping and bearing of arms, but we was glad to win this battle.
You’re right about what you read. If you open carry or concealed carry you will still need a license. Long guns and rifles are unrestricted. Until Strauss is gone along with a few other RINO’s, it won’t change. Maybe in 2017, but I don’t plan on holding my breath.
