The Conference Bill (HB1927) has passed in the full House. The full Senate now needs to do the same and it then goes to the Governor...

Here's the Bill's text as it left the Conference Committee and what the House has approved. Select 'Conference Committee Report' in the link...

Not to clutter up this thread, but I just heard yesterday about HB957. That one has me even more excited than permitless carry.

I started a thread on the Suppressor one...believe it's designed to run through the Courts quickly in the "friendlier" confines of the 5th Circuit and ultimately a friendlier SCOTUS...

ah, I just now saw that thread. I hadn't heard of the bill, but I bought a knife at the fort worth gun show yesterday and the owner of the company told me all about it.

So what was the big “compromise”?

It really wasn’t much in my book as what came out of Conference wasn’t a whole lot different from what came from the Senate initially with Amendments.

Just off the top of my head: enhanced penalties for a Felon in possession, no carry for some misdemeanor domestic violence offenses for 5 years, online gun carry training, Police can stop and withhold w/o much else other than you’re carrying.

The last one is the most problematic but may have been necessary to get this out the gate. The normal LTC program has been peeled back over the years to allow campus carry and Open Carry. It’s hopeful that some aspects of this new unlicensed carry will be tweaked going forward.

One of our members, Andi Turner (username andimorony), former Chair/Lobbyist for MSRPA, and formerly Delegate Smigiel's Chief of Staff, is currently the Legislative Director for TSRA and helped lead this fight this year. Congrats to TSRA, NRA, GOA, and the other 2A groups and citizens that helped get this across the line!

How long would it take for the police to determine if you are prohibited? I would think no longer than a few minutes. And if you had a carry permit that would probably bring that time down to about nothing.
But I guess we'll see.

Here's the portion that was added I was referencing:

So what are the highlights of the final bill?

Residents and non-residents?
Age limit?
Any particular spaces where a permit is still required?

krucam said:
Haven’t seen it yet but will certainly share once I find it. 2 important links are:
https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Actions.aspx?LegSess=87R&Bill=HB1927
Updated 5/21

https://lrl.texas.gov/legis/conferenceCommitteeReports.cfm
Conference Committee Reports supposed to be here. Current Session is 87R

Non-residents too?

Tried to follow all the links.

Maybe a stupid question as I guess Constitutional carry means 'just carry' pretty much.

Great work you Texans!!!

I've also seen ZERO reference to Resident vs Non-Resident. 21+ for age. Open or Concealed it appears...

So . . . the Governor Abbott has until Thursday, 03 Jun, to veto it or it becomes law?

My understanding is he has until June 20th to sign/veto or it becomes law.

FYI, the Bill was sent to the Governor yesterday, 5/28

I would expect him to sign, no? He's already stated multiple times he would sign it.

Tout it as a gun control bill and ask the Mommies to come for a photo op....

That is everyone’s expectation. Vetoing would be huge surprise and I just don’t see him doing it. He is up for re-election next year, Nov 2022, and the last thing he is going to do is upset his base...
