I’ve got an 18 year old son that wants to know what he can do with this ruling AND another 20 year old son wondering too, who will probably turn 21 before we figure this out…
Nothing right now as the ruling is stayed on appeal.

Thanks, that’s what I surmised but it’s good to check….Nothing right now as the ruling is stayed on appeal.
Paxton has a lot of explaining to do between now and the November election.....
Because R’s suck just as bad as D’s do when it comes to 2A.
Just remember the games played by the sportscaster and hot wheels to HB1927 passed. They both want you to feel grateful they ‘let’ you have permitless carry.
Fags.
That unethical piece of shît won’t say a damn thing. So far my ballot sheet is going to be blank for G, LtG, and AG.
Those pieces of shit get the election results they deserve. You do realize hot wheels continues to give himself and every government in Texas unlimited power via executive order every month, right.A no vote is the same as giving the opposition a yes vote.
Ok, let me ask you this? When Abbott and O'Rourke are on the ballot, and someone does not vote for Abbott because they don't like some of his policies, but someone from the d side votes for O'Rourke whose vote is going to count? And whose will not? Say 10,000 think that what is going to happen?
Several recent comments on this topic make the same point offered by this lawyer on the Four Boxes Diner YouTube Channel.
Not being a lawyer [is that a good thing?] the explanation made my brain hurt. Bottom line whichever way the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals rules either Texas or the plantiffs (Firearms Policy Coalition) could take the case eventually to SCOTUS. And considering the recent Bruen decision I would guess the Supremes would find that 18-20 year olds are adults and have 2A rights to carry nationwide. Not just in Texas as the Ft Worth judge's ruling only applied here.
If the federal courts ruled such that 18-20 yrs can carry in TX and maybe other states we would not have to wait on politicians to vote to change the law. Which is not a bad outcome especially for states/cities with elected officials that would never vote to improve 2A rights. So as the Four Boxes Diner says this is good thing for the overall impact it could have nationwide.
For Texas I expect we will have to wait on the federal courts decision as I doubt the current leaders (if reelected) would take up lowering the age limits. They might eventually but remember how long it took to get constitutional carry passed.
And buy ammo. I think the plan is for Texas to fight the ruling all the way to SCOTUS so that it becomes universal and not just Texas. If Texas doesn't fight it than it just applies to Texas.I think the potential of losing the ruling in the courts COULD scare them enough to make a change in the law allowing 18+ to apply for LTC - but NOT allow 18+ to carry under the permitless law. That *could* be a legal workaround enough to nullify the case - though I would hope the plaintiffs would press for a final SCOTUS or 5th Circuit ruling regardless. Other states have tried that crap - changing the law to try to nullify the suit - it didn't work out for New York in the Bruen case either. I also don't think the court would allow the unequal treatment under the law were such tactics attempted.
If you're old enough to raise your hand and enlist in the military, or be drafted up - you're old enough to buy booze, buy guns, carry guns, buy all the sinful - but - legal stuff you want and deal with the consequences.
