Texas Open Carry

Governor Abbott Signs House Bill 910: Texas Open Carry Bill

New law to take effect on January 1, 2016

On Saturday, with representatives of your NRA-ILA and our affiliate Texas State Rifle Association present, Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed into law House Bill 910, sponsored by state Representative Larry Phillips (R-Sherman) and state Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls). This landmark legislation will bring the total number of states recognizing the right of open carry to 44.

The NRA-backed legislation removes the requirement for Concealed Handgun Licensees (CHLs) to keep their handguns concealed by giving them the option of carrying their firearm either wholly or partially visible in a belt or shoulder holster. With a 20-year record of law-abiding and responsible behavior, Texas CHLs deserve this opportunity and this self-defense option.

I thought Texas already had an open carry law.
We have it in Missouri, but practically every city, county, municipality have a law that doesn't allow us to carry openly. That doesn't make sense. The state laws says we can carry openly. The local laws prevent us from carrying openly. There are only a few areas that allow for open carry here.

Change my view- No such thing as "mastiffs"

First of all, the site looks great Gary. This is Tonedog from back in the day. I decided to just randomly see if molosserdogs was still around, fearing the worst, but wow, looks good. Maybe some controversial debate will help liven the place up a bit? lol Over the last few years I've been continuing my recreational research into dogs and dog history (which has now spanned many decades), and I've stumbled onto a realization that "mastiffs" basically don't exist and never did. Hear me out... I believe the mastiff category is merely comprised of retired dogs from various other functional types. They have no real genetic foundation making them a group and no real ancestral function. If you n
