Open Carry might not pass in Texas after all....... Open carry in Texas might be shot down...pun intended. The sticking point seems to be an amendment that would prevents cops from stopping OC carriers to see if they have a valid concealed permit. The reason for the amendment was so that minorities would not be singled out if they were OC. However Austin's police chief is against the amendment because he claims it would create unlicensed open carry. The police chief is described as having "no respect" for the second amendment and is originally from California, which might answer some questions. If this all falls through, unfortunately it will be another two years before the bill can be introduced again. Or... if the Texas Governor can call a special session to deal with the open carry legislation specifically. As they say..stay tuned. This might go all the way to the wire, as the old saying goes. http://bearingarms.com/police-chief-opposition-activist-idiocy-may-kill-open-carry-texas/ "Five senators and representatives will have to reach a compromise in the language of the bill that both the House and Senate agree upon. If they can’t agree, the legislation is dead. If they agree, the compromise legislation must then be approved in new votes by both the House and Senate. They must do so by Monday. If both Houses fail to pass the legislation, or the session expires, the legislation is dead." Note: If any wishes to see the live proceeding.
