Texas Governor-elect Greg Abbott (R) says he will sign a bill to legalize the open carry of handguns as soon as the legislation reaches his desk. Abbott spoke to reporters in Austin the morning after he won the Lone Star State's gubernatorial election.
According to WFAA 8 ABC, Abbot said: "If an open carry bill is passed by the House and Senate, I will sign it into law."
Abbott added, "If open carry is good enough for Massachusetts, it's good enough for Texas."
It is interesting to note that open carry of rifles is already legal in Texas. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America has hung its hat on protesting the open carry of rifles in that state. Abbott is determined to be sure Texans will have the choice to carry a handgun openly with their rifle, if they so choose.

Let’s always remember that it was the armed CITIZENS OF TEXAS who first starting SHOOTING BACK at Charles Whitman, in the UT tower back in 1966 and kept him pinned down till the cops arrived.
My kind of gov.
Repubs have the majority in the NM House Reps for the first time since 1953!
Seems like only yesterday the Ray Sanchez and Manny Aragon would rule until doomsday.
Great news...for our brothers and sisters to the West!
You're right it does. It was to keep all those Un-reconstructed Rebel Texas outlaws from carrying.
“Don’t know much about him, but he already sounds like an upgrade from the RINO Texas version of Romeny... Rick Perry.”
Perry is a jerk, Abbott is a classy guy and didn’t have to campaign hard-right to win, he just coasted in, and brought 20 point victories to the rest of the Republican ticket.
Hard to see reality from Floridah?
Not to mention the Walmart parking lot!
