As of September 1, 2021, residential citizens of Texas will be allowed to lawfully carry a firearm, concealed or openly, without a permit.
This is gonna both good and bad.
Lots of YouTube lawyers and Facebook attorneys are gonna get arrested or drawn down on.
I own several firearms and already have my concealed carry license, but it required a lot of paperwork and classroom time. Just because I'm a veteran doesn't make me a firearms law expert.
Opinions?

This is a great thing imo. The idea that firearms need to be hidden goes against basic common sense.
It's the equivilent of saying a club bouncer needs to look like a weakling, when the fact is you WANT a bully boy who looks as imposing as possible, so no one even tries testing them.
By the same logic, if I see someone with a gun I sure wouldn't mess with such a person. More confrontations diffused from just knowing someone is openly armed.

Re: Texans can carry weapons open or concealed as of 09-01-21
Full disclosure - I don't own a gun, I have never fired a gun, I have no interest in them whatsoever. However, that last part where you say you had to do a lot of paperwork and take a class sounds like the kind of stuff everyone should have to do in order to carry a concealed weapon. Seems like a reasonable price to pay to prove that you actually mentally and emotionally capable of handling a deadly weapon safely.
My contention is that one should take a mandatory 8 hour class (minimum) and then qualify at a shooting range with 200 rounds. That’s a pretty basic class, and I’m a former Infantryman.
People are gonna be road raging and pull a gun and that’s aggravated assault. Some people won’t know when deadly force is legally applicable and authorized.

This isn't even going backwards to me because the wild west wasn't even this ridiculous.
Gun laws in many of those red states are less restrictive then they were during the western expansion days of the U.S.
It's a fantasy world where modern conservatives want to live where the good guys just pull out their guns and solve every problem.
The biggest problem is there are so many things that can quickly turn a 'good' guy with a gun into bad guy with a gun. A quick temper, alcohol, a life crisis event, a mental breakdown.
And to me the biggest thing that's going to cause trouble is half these people don't have the training to take up this responsibility and it's going to get people hurt.

Now are guns the only thing that leads violence. Of course not. Poverty, improper educations, and little social programs are the environments that lead to more crime.
Guns facilitate the ability to perform more efficient violence though. Making violence a more realistic outcome.
We've seen how violent crimes are effected in countries with less access to guns after all.
