I am not interested in having a concealed carry permit. I really don’t want my name on another list. But, I do look forward to September 1, 2021 when the Texas Constitutional Carry law goes into effect.
The idea that I have the right to carry, if I feel I need to is what Texas has always been about.
“Leave us alone to live our lives in peace and we will get along fine, if that is not satisfactory, we’ll deal with it.”
It has always been legal for a Texas citizen to carry a hand gun in the glove box of an auto. But it was not suppose to be in plain sight in the vehicle.
My bet is, after September 1, 2021, there won’t be many people who carry a hand gun, than there was before.
There will continue to be places that do not allow hand guns in their place of business.
...I feel sorry for the folks who live in New York State, where I was born and raised....now live in Central Texas.... the last time I bought a handgun, I filled out the Form 4473, gave the dealer my TX drivers license and my TX License to Carry, he did the national background check, came back okay, give him my money, and walked out the door with my new gun. Took maybe 15 minutes from start to finish....the differences between The Peoples’ Democratic State of New York and The Lone Star State could not be more stark....GOD BLESS TEXAS...!!
