State Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R–Bedford) filed “constitutional carry” legislation to remove the licensing requirement for Texans to carry a handgun openly or concealed. Stickland’s bill, HB 375, would maintain the licensing process for citizens who wish to obtain a license and enjoy reciprocity in other states.
“It is time in Texas to restore our Second Amendment rights to their originally intended level,” said Stickland. “No Texan should have to pay a fee or take a class to exercise their right to bear arms.”

I thought the discussion on this was already happening in another thread ? Maybe it was just similar in nature.

While I doubt constitutional carry will pass considering we have pro gun people on the forum decrying it(or at least debating it), it would be nice. I agree that it should be treated as the right that the constitution is suppose to protect, instead of a privilege that gets taxed. Some thought Open Carry was a long shot as well, so maybe, just maybe <fingers crossed>.
