Sound like it is just waiting on Gov. Abbot's signature, and he is in favor.
It's not clear to me if the law requires you to conceal your handgun, or you can mosey through HEB with a Model 29 in a shoulder holster?

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

One needs a concealed carry license to carry open?

Under current regulations, not a "concealed" license, but a License To Carry LTC (open or concealed). This, once signed by Abbott, will eliminate the need for the LTC (open or concealed) while in Texas. People keep calling it a CHL (concealed handgun license), but it was changed to an LTC in 2016.

Thanks for the explanation. Tough to believe TX is like that. eta: is that because of the 1871 law in TX about not carrying off ones own property?

I remember a while back when I was researching CCP reciprocity that it seemed TX was pretty restrictive on open carry at the time... Maybe because of an influx of people from other states?

Not quite. The senate made a couple of changes and by TX law it has to go back to the house so they can vote on the senate version. Abbott has said he would sign a bill if it hits his desk.

I hope they don’t do away with the LTC. I really like being able to skip the instant check process.

It is in the Texas constitution that people have a right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves or the state, but that the legislature has the right to regulate the wearing of arms in public. Hence, the LTC laws and now possibly "constitutional carry".

It’s to bad that if Texas is constitutional carry and ND is, that they would recognize each other and other constitutional carry states.
