The bill, approved by the GOP-led Texas Legislature, allows people to carry handguns in public without a license, background check or training.

Texass does it again. What is in the water down there? Are they trying to recreate old reruns of Gunsmoke? Anyone will be able to strap on their six shooter and parade around town. Just another repub Party stupid idea....
This is one time I actually agree with you and the left. I don't think it's a good idea for everybody to carry a gun. When you get licensed in my state, you have to go through 10 hours of class time. You have to have two hours range time. You have to pass a written test. You have to pass a target test. You have to get electronically fingerprinted. Your police and criminal records are investigated since the day you turned 18 years of age.
I've been to the gun range where some stupid kids were treating a gun like it was a toy. One time they shot a hole into the ceiling and just laughed like a couple of school girls. I don't want people like that carrying guns. People who go through the time, expense, and testing are generally people who are mature enough to handle carrying a firearm. We had to learn all the laws pertaining to using a firearm for self-defense, as well as demonstrate our knowledge and ability with firearms. No license means we will have some people who will carry even though they never shot a gun in their life or know any of the laws, and may end up killing an innocent.
