Texas: Open carry lacks support ‘at this point’

Not sure if I believe the Lt. Governor.  We'll see.

+++++

There are not enough votes in the Texas Senate to pass legislation allowing Texans to openly carry handguns, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Tuesday.

Gun Debate Turns Wild in First 2 Weeks of Texas Legislature

What many thought was a slam-dunk in the Republican-controlled Legislature -- allowing the open carry of handguns in Texas -- turned into a tempest in the opening weeks of the session. And its chances of passing seemed to further diminish when one of the state's most outspoken conservatives flip-flopped on whether it's even a priority issue.

"(Open carry) has been pushed off the rails by the nut jobs," said Jerry Patterson, a former Marine, gun enthusiast and open-carry advocate who wrote the state's concealed handgun license law as a state lawmaker in the early 1990s.

I hear from friends on another forum that 3 Texas pro gun bills should be coming to a vote this week.
