Texas Legislature Passes Constitutional Carry, Bill Now Goes to Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t a smooth process<\/a>\u00a0and \u2014 no matter what he says publicly \u2014\u00a0Lt. Governor Dan Patrick<\/a>\u00a0had to be brought along kicking and screaming. But after the reconstituted version of HB 1927 passed in the house last night 82-62, the Senate just passed it this evening by a margin of 17-13.<\/p>\n

The bill now goes to Governor Greg Abbott who has said for weeks that\u00a0he\u2019ll sign it into law<\/a>. We understand the Governor\u2019s office is looking for an appropriate location here in the Live Music Capitol of the World to affix his signature.<\/p>\n

So with that, Texas will be come the 21st, and by far the largest state in the nation to enact permitless carry. As in virtually every other state where it\u2019s law, constitutional carry passed over the loud objections of an assortment of\u00a0chiefs of police<\/a>, a minority of\u00a0concealed carry permit trainers<\/a>, the\u00a0media<\/a>, and the usual suspects from the\u00a0civilian disarmament industrial complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will it result in fender-bender firefights and shopping line shootouts as the bill\u2019s hysterical opponents predictably predicted? It hasn\u2019t in any of the other 20 states with constitutional carry and there\u2019s no reason to think it will in the Lone Star State<\/a>\u00a0either.<\/div>\n

Progress marches on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
