Licensed open carry is headed to the Texas Senate. The House overwhelmingly voted in favor of a bill allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry their guns openly yesterday.
They rejected an amendment from Democrats which would have exempted major cities. Seven Democrats from the Texas-Mexico border voted in favor of open carry.
Texans can already open carry rifles. The Texas Senate passed a bill earlier in the session which would allow open carry without a license. That bill is still in the House. Governor Greg Abbott has said he’d sign any bill allowing open carry.
