New law allows unlicensed Texans to carry handguns in public after disasters
Doom On!

\

Despite protests from Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo and several lawmakers, Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law Friday that will allow people without a handgun license to carry pistols in public — openly or concealed — for a week after a disaster is declared.

“I don’t want someone to feel like they have to leave their firearms back in an unsecured home for a week or longer, and we all know how looting occurs in storms,” Phelan said in an interview in March. “Entire neighborhoods are empty and these people can just go shopping, and one of the things they’re looking for is firearms.”

Good. Disaster looters have to be the worst scum on earth.

I didn't know it required a license to be a citizen of Texas. How did Bush pass the test?

Politicians sure do love writing 'bills'.

They're putting in everyone's face there is no Constitution.

Just lots and lots of 'bills'.

Re: New law allows unlicensed Texans to carry handguns in public after disasters
One of the few times I have had to take out a rifle because of trouble, was the day after Hurricane Alicia in 1983, in Houston. I was only 27 years old and was hauling limbs by myself from the yard to the street. A white van drove by several times. Then it parked and a man came walking into my yard. I went into the house and then stepped out onto the porch with my mini-14, which was gussied up to look like an urban assault weapon. I put the butt on the ground and leaned it over enough for the stranger to see it. He immediately halted, backed up to his van without turning around, and took off. I did not see him again. Even after all these years, I am certain he was up to no good.

I guess I should mention that I am a woman.

G.W. Bush was actually born in New Haven, CT.

Just lived in Texas. Not a Texas citizen.
