Yet, in the same newspaper, the politicians are gloating over signing new law to enable citizens to carry without background check and permit.
Perfect example of someone not knowing what they are talking about.
The open carry law just passed in Texas does not allow ANYONE - that means not one person - to carry a handgun openly without background checks or permit. NO ONE. What you just claimed is absolutely untrue, and has no basis in fact. It comes from someone with an anti-gun mentality who could not even do the most basic of research before regurgitating what they had read somewhere.
In Texas, the ONLY people who will be allowed to open carry their handguns are those who already have or go through the process to obtain their concealed carry permit. That means they have to be 21 years of age, have no criminal or mental health history, must submit to a background check, be fingerprinted, are required to go though a training class, and must test with their firearm and pass.
Honestly BBH, you could have googled that in about 2.5 seconds. Instead you undermine your credibility and just spout off your bias.
