Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) kept his promise and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/Reports\/Report.aspx?LegSess=87R&amp;ID=signedbygov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed<\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/BillLookup\/History.aspx?LegSess=87R&amp;Bill=HB1927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HB 1927<\/a><\/strong> into law. It becomes effective on September 1st. The bill allows anyone who is age 21 and over who can legally possess a firearm to carry, openly or concealed, a handgun so long as it is a non-prohibited public place. There is an exception made for those convicted of certain misdemeanors within the past five years. They are only allowed to carry in their homes or vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/texas.gunowners.org\/hb-1927-final-version-what-does-it-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GOA Texas has an excellent summary<\/a><\/strong> of the exceptions, the prohibited places, and what the bill contains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Texas becoming the <s>20th<\/s> 21st state to allow permitless carry, there are almost as many states allowing permitless carry as there are with shall-issue carry. The addition of Texas jumps the percentage of the US population living in a permitless state from 17.6% to 26.4%. As Rob Vance who has created the graph below notes, &#8220;This is what a preference cascade looks like.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2012\/12\/12\/every-picture-tells-story.html\">When Rob Vance and I started this series<\/a><\/strong> almost ten years ago, Illinois still had not enacted shall-issue carry. I commented that in 2011, shall-issue carry was the new norm. In 2021, we are almost to the tipping point where permitless carry will be the new norm. If large shall-issue states like Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, or North Carolina were to adopt permitless carry, then we would have tipped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are still waiting on Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-LA) to either sign or veto Louisiana&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/legis.la.gov\/legis\/BillInfo.aspx?i=240183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SB 118<\/a><\/strong> allowing permitless carry. He has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lailluminator.com\/briefs\/concealed-guns-without-permit-passes-legislature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said he will veto it<\/a><\/strong> but the legislation passed with a super-majority meaning his veto would probably be overridden. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.statescape.com\/resources\/legislative\/bill-signing-deadlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Since the bill passed within the last 10 days<\/a><\/strong> of the legislative session, Edwards has until approximately June 24th to veto it or it becomes law without his signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The usual suspects are crying that blood will now run in the streets of Texas. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shannonrwatts\/status\/1405330368736104448\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Demanding Moms<\/a><\/strong> plan to picket the Governor&#8217;s Mansion and other places to attract attention from their compliant media allies. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/progresstexas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Progress Texas<\/a><\/strong> is condemning it <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easternprogress.com\/gov-greg-abbott-signs-bill-to-allow-texans-to-carry-handguns-without-a-permit\/article_c0e67ad0-0435-5f39-83e7-e73b96b04382.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claiming a majority of Texans<\/a><\/strong> didn&#8217;t approve of it.
