Carrying handgun without license passes Texas House and Senate

[tvc184]

House Bill 1927 passed in the Texas House a couple of weeks ago. It was sent to the Senate and today it passed there also.

The Senate made four amendments to the bill so it will have to go to a joint conference to see ya both sides can agree on the amendments. The amendments that I read would not be a radical so I think it will eventually pass.

The governor has said that he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk.

There is probably about a 90% chance that Texas law will now change to allow open or concealed carry of handguns with no license. From what I read of the law, a business can still post a trespassing sign and for bed entry. The license to carry classes will still be given because it will allow you to carry in about 30 other states concealed and it will allow you to purchase firearms without a background check.
