Texas alllowing open carry and no permits for guns

"Texas is on the verge of becoming the most-populous state in the nation to allow permit-less carry of handguns, meaning any adult who can legally obtain a gun can take it to town, without any training or certification. It’s the firearms equivalent of abandoning drivers licenses. The governor, Greg Abbott, is a big fan of what gun advocates term “constitutional carry,” and has signaled he’s eager to sign the bill into law."


When I lived in Dallas it was legal to have a loaded handgun in the glovebox and a lot of traffic accidents resulted in gunfire. Even worse in that drivers could also drive around with an open beer can or bottle of whisky and not be cited. The law was modified regarding open containers to where it was not OK for the driver to have an open beer container but it was alright for the passengers to be drinking booze in the vehicle.

A gunshot would results in medical costs of $50,000 on average so it is a good idea to check your medical coverage before venturing into Texas.

Anybody ever been to a ball game and seen a minor "disagreement"?
Won't that be fun to sit in the same area as a few hotheads and know that any one of them may armed and fully drunk?
Instead of the kids at Saturday morning soccer getting their shins kicked the parents can now be trusted to shoot first! No more volunteer jobs for me!

Here’s some real data … what Texas is about to do is typically called “Constitutional Carry” …. nearly half of the US States, 20 right now, already have it. Reckon Texas might be number 21. There are other states considering adopting some form of it, too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_carry

The OP doesn’t like Texas, often flips out unsupported and off-topic negative opinions. Maybe he was evicted from Texas, probably won’t join so many other Californians moving to Texas. That’s okay.

Given some recent events, could be he’s already at risk where he is. I hope his medical coverage is good.
