'Don't Mess With Texas!' No-License Gun Carry Approved By House A TEXAS FIRST

What are the chances of this actually making it out of the senate?

Agree that it'll never be heard from again, but at least few reps will be able to campaign on being pro gun

Strauss my surprise some folks on this red meat issue and schedules this on Calanders committee. He has put down a bunch of social bills. Who knows

Senate would be all over it if it gets there

Apparently the right to free speech is in serious peril....

I hope this passes. I never carry and don't have a license. A few nights ago I needed to take some stuff to a storage unit in a sketchy part of town. Had to decide whether to break the law or fear for my safety.

i need to get my CHL

before shelling out the money and going through the course should i wait to see what happens with this?

I would wait. Odds are long on this but you never know

Getting the LTC was not difficult.

If this passes, I think the only result will be 30.06 and 30.07 signs will skyrocket, as more businesses get nervous about the "general public" carrying instead of trained, background checked, license holders. It will be a net negative.

I actually prefer it not pass. I want responsibility with my freedom.

This.

I like how it is HB 1911.

Had my LTC, it expired around the same time my 2nd kid was born. The class was still 8 hours + shooting since I didn't renew for the next year between two kids and work.... So now I'm waiting for HB1911 to pass or die before I schedule a course.

Why not take a gun with you in your car and keep it concealed but easy to reach? As long as it's in there and not on your person while walking around, you're not breaking the law.

WAAAAY to late for the Senate. This is a game that both houses play. Once the leadership knows that its too late for some " hot button" issue to make it thru the other body they allow a bill to suddenly fly thru their body knowing damn well that it will die on the other side of the building. After the session this allows Mr Member to go home and face the rabble all full of piss and vinegar telling em far and wide that " WE got ( fill in the hot button) thru..its not MY fault that it didnt get thru the blah blah...now..write me a nice check , make sure no one primaries me, vote for me again ...and I PROMISE I'll work like hell to get...blah blah.... next time...
Happens every session.

The Senate isn't fast tracking this through with Abbott clamoring about school finance and property tax reduction.

That's an interesting point. I think that Open Carry passing has been a net negative.

Like with the OC, you'll see an initial result of signage. But that is going to be a short term and honestly low pain threshold issue to deal with. If your concern is the short term here and now and you don't have the ability to look long term, you'll react the way you are now.

If you will look at the long term, you'll realize that this will have almost no noticeable effect and will ultimately be a good thing because what it will do is de-sensitize Joe Q. Public to firearms. Within a relatively short time frame, most people become so accustomed to something that they no longer pay much mind to it. Take, for example, smoking bans. Almost universally, smoking bans were hotly debated subjects that most people were not huge proponents of. Once they got passed, however, the vast majority of people become so used to no smoking in places that it becomes a novelty when you can smoke in a bar or restaruant - and most people begin to avoid places that you can after time. Exposure (best word I can think of) to firearms in public is much the same way - after just a few months the vast majority of people get to where they don't notice or don't react to somebody that may be carrying. Signs don't get replaced or get flat out removed when the fear wears off.

As stated - a whole lot of other places already have no permit carrying. Seems to work out well for them. Just because Texas has done something a particular way since the Civil War does not equate to that way being right.
