I think it will not pass. They try to control the world by covid passport containing all your data, so gun licenses will be added there. Probably its just another crazy stunt, like all the other stunts of goverments to give first and then take it away. Like 'yes mask.... no mask.... yes mask... no mask'

1984, Brave New world is getting implemented. The 'New Normal'

Never free guns, I don't believe it. Unless the virus ate their brains already

What are your thoughts on unlicensed carrying of handguns?

Do not people already do that anyway?

I don't think there should be an unlicensed carrying of any weapon. I think there should be mandatory training in proper safety and handling, including range time. And this should have to be recertified at yearly intervals. Same as I had to do every year I served in the Navy, to prove proficiency and competency.

As for your last question. Criminals sure, but that's a relatively small crowd.

I heard some conspiracy theory that they want to decimate the world population. I was wondering how they would do that.

Texas free "unlicensed nukes" maybe?

You can get a license for one of those? I gotta get out more.

I am interested in that there is nothing mentioned about concealed carry.
Several states allow open carry but require a permit or license to conceal carry.

I am most curious if Texas will be the first state to not require a permit or license for all forms of carrying a firearm.

I think Ohio is another state unless that has changed.

I agree with licensing & training requiremnets.
Secure storage too.

There can be common ground.
- Ensure that dangerous & inappropriate people aren't carrying & even denied guns.
- Require vetting, training, & secure storage.
This would be an improvement on what we have.

I can see a permit for concealed carry.

I suppose it all depends on where you are and the surrounding environment.

A rural area might not be as disconcerting as an urban area where a person might be compelled to carry a firearm along with him or herself.

So when the cops stop a drunk driver, they can take his car keys away from him, and his driver's license, but not his gun. It's GENUIS!

The trick done by the antigun people is not to count an event unless shots are fired. Most cases of using a handgun for self defense do not get to that point. Merely drawing the gun is enough to deter an attack.

Texas Gets Ready To Allow Unlicensed Carrying Of Handguns

No problem I am glad you are alerting people to the madness. We have had marches with people carrying their guns out in the open to demonstrate their right to bear arms. Some how 100 men and women carrying no hunting rifles but tactical semiautomatic weapons kind of makes us look like one of those third world nations preparing for take over the government. This is the last thing we need with increasing economic, political, and changing populations.
