He's trying to fool voters. His opponent is more likely to vote FOR CC....He has yet to introduce the bill...
however....
Springer has introduced HB 299 which is a constitutional carry bill.
I questioned that too but perhaps the use of "a person otherwise legally authorized to carry a handgun" is the term that gives it constitutional carry.I could not find anything in the bill that authorizes constitutional carry, just some vague references to otherwise authorized to carry.
Springer if he does not win the senate seat will still be in the house to introduce his bill. One way or the other Springer will be there. Luther on the other hand either wins the senate seat or is out.
Interesting thing about Springer's bill is that is eliminates belt or shoulder holster and changes it to just holster.
But it doesn't specify how one becomes otherwise legally authorized. Or what that means.I questioned that too but perhaps the use of "a person otherwise legally authorized to carry a handgun" is the term that gives it constitutional carry.
Spingers bill has allready been introduced, Its a done deal as far as being introduced.

It doesn't say a citizen can carry concealed or openly without a license.
I think it may have been done this way so the left may not notice it.
Needs to lose the part about federal law. Just make it under Texas law.Its convultuted lawyer speak.
However if uou scroll down to the bottom of the text. It defines that term.
One of the exceptions is number 7
Which is the part that makes its contitutional carry.
7 is an exemption to prosecution for carrying a handgun. Providing that your at least 21, its only a handgun, its carried concealed or in a holster. Is not a convicted felon, or member of a street gang, is legally allowed to phrchase a firearm and meets federal regulations on owning a gun.
thats the single clause that allowes for carrying without a license. Open or concealed.
