Texas on Verge of Becoming 21st Constitutional Carry State
Breitbart ^ | 7 May 2021 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 05/07/2021 3:46:29 PM PDT by Paleo Pete

The Senate followed the Texas House’s lead and passed legislation to abolish the state’s concealed permit requirement this week, setting the stage for Texas to become the 21st constitutional carry state.

On April 16, 2021, Breitbart News reported the Texas House passed House Bill 1927 by a vote of 84 to 56. HB 1927 does away with the requirement that law-abiding citizens get a permit from the government before exercising their right to bear arms.

On April 28, 2021, Breitbart News pointed out Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) saying he supported constitutional carry and would sign legislation ending the permit requirement, should it reach his desk.

The Hill noted the Texas Senate passed legislation late Wednesday to end the permit requirement. The Senate bill contains some changes that were not in the House version, so the legislation will return to the House for approval.

Almost there. Looks like Texas may go constitutional carry.

Sorry if this is already posted, I have not seen it and did search for specific title and partial title.

HAS JOE BIDEN BEEN RED-FLAGGED YET? According to gun-grabbers, Biden is very dangerous.

Biden owns a 10 gauge shotgun, and was caught on film demonstrating how to shoot it......using sound effects.

Obama’s earlier list of extremists listed
<><> individuals opposed to abortion (Biden is " morally opposed");
<><> and also listed gun owners as potential risks.

So why does Florida not have constitutional carry while Vermont has it?

I have no idea, you’d have to ask the swamp creatures in the Florida gov’t.

With the comments I’ve seen about Paxton, I’m surprised Texas got this far. Otherwise, he’s done pretty well.

If they secede before this gets signed, is it then a Constitutional carry country?

Biden wouldn’t know a shotgun from a water pistol.

I think Vermont has always had it. Ironic, considering the kind of people living there now.

And why doesn’t Nevada? Hard now with the migration from California, but seems like it should have been one of the first states.

My Vermont ancestors from the 1700’s would be disgusted by the flatlanders who’ve invaded our State. The Northeast Kingdom will never relinquish our rights.

No, this will not see the light of day I'm afraid. Dan Patrick killed it with a poison pill and it will die in committee when the session ends next week.
