Meanwhile, while you were arguing with idiots on the internet...

Texas House just passed a permitless carry bill.

For an extra bit of "wow", an anti gun communist representative amended the bill to expunge the records of those previously convicted for the violation of the laws this bill repeals, and that amendment passed almost unanimously.

On to the Senate!

Interesting.....

 

[TexPatriot]

Permitless carry aka Constitutional carry is good news and long overdue.

OP, can you clarify the second part of your statement "expunge the records of those previously convicted for the violation of the laws this bill repeals?"

Does that mean someone convicted of crime such as a Class A or B misdemeanor such as DWI that would prevent getting a carry permit is now now expunged?

If you currently have a license, will it make it useless, which means you can no longer skip the background check when buying a gun over the counter?

No. Unlawful carry as a result of lack of license to carry.

Other charges are unaffected.

Ok, thanks.

Also, if you have a permit, keep it as it still lets you skip the background check. From an arfcom thread:

"It still allows skipping the NICS call in, it also changes some definitions of gun free zones. Some places do not allow unlicensed carry but do allow licensed carry. The standard example is public schools. With a license, the school building is a no carry zone. Without a license it is school property. If you park in a school parking lot, or drive on a school owned road to pick up your kids - you are on school property, but not in a school building."

Keep the CCW permit for the states that recognize it.

Do current LTC holders get their $40 back? I found a couple rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor I’d like to spend it on.

 

[Mwalex]

I’ll keep my license anyway.

 

[lash]

That’s good to hear for Texas. A bit unexpected from my perspective, but good.

 

[UKDslayer]

Still have to wait for Senate - please watch premature celebrations. It's a good trend for Texas though. Now we need sanctuary status throughout.

That got out of committee yesterday.

The CC bill that passed the house today is almost identical to the Senate bill 540 that has yet to be heard by State affairs.

So we're linked up with OK that also has CC. Texas and OK have always had a dick measuring contest when it comes to the 2A. If one does something the other has to match it.

 

[seanh]

Should have always been this way it's begin with.
Have a hard time believing that it's going to pass the Senate...but let's hope.

Undecided on whether or not I would carry

Sarcasm?

 

[seanh]

No.

 

[sheepdog697]

I’m not familiar with the Texas senate, is it likely to pass there?

 

[QuickNDirty]

It is. Depends on calendars to get it to the floor. If it gets there, it's getting passed. 2A sanctuary will be a good indicator.

 

[NoDopes]

There were already some odd differences. You can already carry in your car "when traveling" even without permit.. if stopped by a cop, you had to disclose only if you were licensed. Sounds like it's going to get more confusing.

We got a bill headed to the governor’s desk that says you can run over fucktard “protesters” aka rioters now!

 

[uffduh]

TSRA posted a video in the last few weeks in which Abbott said he was working to make Texas a sanctuary state.

I don't think it's gonna be more confusing, except for those individuals who have a problem with permitless carry and/or carry in general.

One of the amendments made it plainly clear that a person being armed is no justification for a LEO contact. Period.

TX?

 

[QuickNDirty]

TX?

No, OK. Their house voted to pass it recently. Texas tried a while ago, but failed. That was years before the mostly peaceful stuff.

 

[jrassy]

Yea this has been in the works for 5 years Or so.

 

[JbBooks]

This bill is really gonna curb a lot of “mostly peaceful protests “ out on the interstate, when that cow hauler spools his turbo on his peterbuilt, instead of hitting his jakes!

Temper this with some caution. Unless you up armor your ride, protestors can still ventilate a crash vehicle.

 

[RTH1800]

Are the protesters often armed? Not being sarcastic, I don't know.

Often? Dunno, but it's definitely a possibility as Kyle, that young girl, and several others have learned.

well if u stand in front of an 80,000 lb moving vehicle going 70mph, your a special kind of stupid that needs eliminated from the gene pool of society

Iowa beat ya to it....

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs law allowing permitless handgun carry, purchase

The Iowa law allows people to purchase or carry concealed handguns without first obtaining a permit. The permit system remains, but is now optional.

Hopefully this logic and progression will go National.

Lots of states did.

It was some comedic relief when we were testifying on HB1238/1911/1927/etc at like 1AM or so and a guy got up there to say "Tennessee just beat us to it. Pass the bill."

 

[Aries256]

Needs to be permitless carry in all 50 states, but not happening as long as demtards steal elections
