June 17th, 2021Via: ZeroHedge:
Starting September 1st, Texans will be able to carry handguns in public without a license after on Wednesday the controversial bill dubbed “constitutional carry” was singed into law by Governor Greg Abbott.

As the law stands prior to the new change, Texans must pass a background check and undergo a safety course, which includes over 1.6 million licensed conceal-carry individuals in the state. The bill still keeps the formal licensing “option” in place.
But after the new law takes effect anyone 21-years old and up can carry a holstered handgun, whether openly or concealed, without a permit.
