PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS — Today, at what other place than a gun range; Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 910, the Texas Open Carry Bill for Concealed Handgun Holders, into law.

The Governor signed the bill into law at Reg’s Indoor Gun Range, located in Pflugerville, which is a suburb of Austin. After the signing, the Governor took the opportunity to fire some rounds down range.

Why today is possible,” Abbott began in his remarks, “is because we have legislators who stepped up, did the right thing, crafted legislation, collaborated to get the votes that were needed to expand gun rights in the state of Texas.”​

Governor Abbott quoted quite a few people to make his point, and he couldn’t have been more dead on. His purpose: to describe the concept of genius.

“President Washington said ‘that a free people should not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain independence from any who might attempt to abuse them.’”

“Thomas Jefferson said that ‘laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are not inclined to commit crime,’” the Governor continued.

He concluded with Ronald Reagan’s famous quip: “‘I happen to know from personal experience that those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by by gun control.’”

“They understood the imperative of the 2nd Amendment, and so do we,” Governor Abbott stated. “We understand that the Constitution matters. Every single word of it and every single component of the Bill of Rights.”

“Today is a day when Republicans and Democrats are united saying that we will live up to the promise of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution — including the 2nd Amendment,” he stated proudly. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”​

Another important piece of legislation signed is the Campus Carry bill, which will allow licensed concealed carry permit holders to carry on campus. This will negate the vast majority of college students, as you need to be 21 years old in order to apply for your permit. The bill will, however, allow private universities to opt out and public ones to designate parts of their campuses as gun-free zones.

While the Open Carry law is set to take effect Jan. 1, 2016, Campus Carry will not take effect until Aug. 1, 2016.

Happy Compensation Day!

Americans love of their guns. Do they not know the statistics (and children shouldn't be statistics) of the number of people who are accidently shot by guns improperly stored. More guns, more improply stored guns, more accidental deaths.

Just stop it at the border. Let them do whatever the hell they want to do to each other and leave us out of it.

Do you know how many millions of guns we have in Canada and thousands more being sold legally each year?

I don't know anyone who sleeps with a loaded glock under a pillow. I don't know any private citizens who have automatic weapons. I, personally, would find it extremely offensive if private citizens were walking around with "open carry" firearms slung on their hips. I know that my experiences are widespread in this country and that the vast majority of us have no interest in turning our relatively peaceful country into what has emerged South of our border. Keep it down there. "Open carry" of firearms out of the context of hunting in the woods is un-Canadian.

Of course, Walter doesn't like it. Walter is un-Canadian and is probably proud of it.

You are still the drama queen Bloomer. I wonder if the attacks on Muslims will disappear when they are packing pistols?? I'm thinking yes it will stop after a few 'Bloomers' get gunned down in self defense.

Of course, Walter doesn't like it. Walter is un-Canadian and is probably proud of it.

Surely you know where Walnut's heart is located, and it isn't in Canada like you pointed out for the 'not too swift' here.

Walnut, alliance to a different Nation than the one you live in isn't a crime unless you are from Israel. Wait, never mind.

The biggest gun problem with guns in America is inner city ghettos and gang on gang violence .
