10. Texas

Governor Greg Abbott probably set a record in 2019 when he signed 10 separate pro-­gun bills into law. One of the bills allows school employees to keep guns locked in their cars on campus parking lots. Texas is, as many would suspect, a pro-­gun state across the board. It gets high marks for a strong CCW law that include Open Carry and strong Use ­of ­Force laws, and its lack of restrictions on Black Rifles, magazines or NFA items. Some of the most impressive range facilities in the nation reside in Texas’ wide-open spaces. (2018 rank: 9)

9. Montana

The same governor that vetoed the Permitless Carry bill in 2017, vetoed a firearm preemption bill this year. The former Attorney General has not exactly been a friend to gun owners in this otherwise extremely gun-­friendly state. Montana gets eight points for its Shall Issue permit system, and ten points in every other category. The state is a hunting mecca and has a thriving gun industry presence. (2018 rank: 8)

So, after reading these two rankings, how does Montana rank ahead of Texas? (....and why isn’t Texas #1 or #2? )

I know on many of them constitutional carry weighs heavily in the ranking. Another we get dinged on is we have legally enforceable no gun signs. I don't know how this one was done, but I've seen those two things mentioned in other rankings.
