The Texas Legislature Reaches an Agreement on Constitutional Carry<\/a><\/p>\n

AUSTIN (WBAP\/KLIF) \u2013\u00a0The Texas House and Senate conferees reached an agreement on House Bill 1927, better known as constitutional carry.<\/p>\n

The measure would do away with the need to have a license to carry a gun in Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working together, the House and Senate will send Governor Abbott the strongest Second Amendment legislation in Texas history, and protect the right of law-abiding Texans to carry a handgun as they exercise their God-given right to self defense and the defense of their families,\u201d said the bill\u2019s author, Rep. Matt Schaefer Speaker Dade Phelan has been rock-solid every step of the way as House Bill 1927 has progressed, and I am grateful for his leadership and the bipartisan coalition who supported House Bill 1927.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick congratulated\u00a0Rep. Matt Schaefer and Sen. Charles Schwertner for reaching a full agreement on permitless carry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis legislation restores our Second Amendment rights and upholds every Texan\u2019s right to self-defense,\u201d Patrick told WBAP on Friday. \u201cHB 1927 is a historic bill and a national model. It includes the thinking of national gun rights advocates and many in Texas law enforcement and affirms our commitment to protect the rights of gun owners and the safety of those in law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Lt. Gov. Patrick, the bill will become eligible for a final vote early next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who said HB 1927 would never pass and who perpetuated stories of a \u2018poison pill\u2019 and other conspiracies willfully misled many Second Amendment supporters in Texas,\u201d said Patrick. \u201cThey also underestimated how hard members of the House and Senate were working to pass this bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Governor Abbott told WBAP earlier this month that he will sign the bill into law when it makes it to his desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
