Texas Introduce Shocking New Gun Law

Starting January 1st, licensed gun owners in Texas will be allowed to openly carry their weapons in most public places – that sounds safe.

Right now, the law requires licensed gun owners to keep their firearms hidden and out of sight, mostly because seeing a random person with a weapon can be quite frightening to rational people.

However, new laws, presumably put in place by irrational people, will permit owners to carry their gun in plain view, openly in a belt or in a shoulder holster.

But if you think the open carry laws sound stupid it gets so much worse.

Police are worried about asking gun carriers about licenses because they want to avoid harassment lawsuits, essentially meaning would-be criminals could carry guns without fear of getting caught.

Austin Police Department training commander, Andy Michael, said:
"We’re going to assume they’re a license holder, probably."

Lol, when kids believe everything Facebook says.

Not really shocking, many states already have this.

"We’re going to assume they’re a license holder, probably." lmao /lol

.... Have you ever even looked up the difference between a conceal carry and open carry permit?

Criminals don't care about laws, they will still hide their guns until they are ready and in position to do the crime.

However now if a criminal walks into some joint with intentions to rob it but see's an open carry armed citizen he'll likely choose not to rob because it's just not worth it. They look for easy and quick opportunity.

Ultimately though i have a hard time seeing how this law will impact much of anything.
