Fuck yeah! I myself don't plan on open carrying, but I am happy for my Texas brethren who now have the right to.

Better than nothing and we're lucky to get this one passed. I called my senator, representative and the Lt Governor more on this bill than I have ever done in the past.

In 1991 when the Luby's massacre happened there was no way to carry legally in the State of Texas open or concealed. Things are far better today. |

Bill goes back to the house for a final vote before going to the governor.
AUSTIN (AP) – State lawmakers pushed closer to approving the licensed open carry of handguns, but only after a fierce Senate debate over restricting police powers to question people carrying guns if they are legal. The open carry bill was expected to easily pass the Republican-majority Senate but got tangled in a bipartisan move to add a ban on police from stopping someone solely because they are visibly carrying a handgun. Senate approval came less than a week after a biker shootout in Waco killed nine. The bill still needs a final House vote. That chamber has already passed a nearly identical version. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/05/22/texas-senate-approves-open-carry-of-handguns/ |

I just have a huge problem with a state that allows no method of carry without a permission slip. Although I hate requiring a permit to CCW, at least if a state has real OC there is some method of carry for someone who can't get a permit, hasn't lived in the state long enough, or doesn't have time or money to get a permit. But it is a step. Maybe Texas improve further with time. |

Only if the language of the Huffines amendment is different than the Dutton amendment. The house will look at it, and if it is they will have a floor vote. I don't believe that Huffines changed the language. |
