Governor Greg Abbott signed, HB 1927 – a “constitutional carry” bill – into law, making Texas the 21st state to allow responsibly-armed Americans to carry concealed handguns without a permit.
The U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) commended Texas Governor Greg Abbott for signing the bill.
It goes into effect Sept. 1, 2021.
“We applaud Governor Abbott for taking this important step to recognize Texans’ natural born right to self-defense. Texas now joins a growing number of states in upholding its citizens’ Constitutionally protected rights while understanding that responsibly-armed citizens can make our communities safer,” said U.S. Concealed Carry Association President and Founder Tim Schmidt.
“Today, the USCCA remains dedicated to educating Americans on firearm safety and their Constitutional right to carry a gun. However, we believe the requirement to be responsible with a firearm is not linked directly to a permit. In reality, the requirement to be responsible is never-ending, and we encourage all responsible gun owners to make safety and training a priority in Texas and across the nation.”
