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.

Don’t know much about him, but he already sounds like an upgrade from the RINO Texas version of Romeny... Rick Perry.
I should move to Texas. Mr. Abbott sounds like my kind of governor.

Well that didn’t take long LOL!
Abbott! Abbott!
I hope he is as good on immigration and stuff
Sweet !!
Yeah. I just wish we could tolerate the weather there. We've been in California all our lives (Central Valley, Bay Area).
I voted correctly.........
If he is, he could shake up national politics:
Art 4, Sec. 7. COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF MILITARY FORCES; CALLING FORTH MILITIA.Can you imagine the havoc that'd wreak on the open-borders/One World types in DC?
He shall be Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State, except when they are called into actual service of the United States. He shall have power to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State, to suppress insurrections, and to repel invasions.
I heard this on radio this AM, but could not find a source.
Wish I could convince Brian Sandoval to act like a Republican and do likewise.
How strange.
When I was a kid, it was never questioned that you could wear a holster with a gun in all the Western states.
Didnt know you needed a law to make it true.

Who’s crawlin’ out from under a rock now
Filled with a brain that’s lighter than air
Who’s makin fun of a guy in a wheelchair
Everyone knows it’s Wendy
Who is the girl who likes to kill babies
Smilin’ at every body she sees
Who is the girl who lost to Greg Abbott
Everyone knows it’s Wendy
And Wendy has evil eyes
That smile bright as she lies
And Wendy she did so try
To turn Texas blue (turn Texas blue)
To turn Texas blue (turn Texas blue)

I think the law goes back the the Tx Reconstruction after the Civil War.
Nice opening move. Ought to scare the liberals in Austin back to Boston....well, we can only hope.
PA has OC; why move?
I’m glad the OP posted it, I didn’t know to log in to FR and look for that headline out of TX. Now I know what is happening down there...
