SAN ANTONIO — In the shadow of the iconic Alamo and flanked by Republican state lawmakers and the leader of the National Rifle Association, Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday signed a package of bills aimed at enhancing gun rights in Texas.
"Today, I signed documents that instill freedom in the Lone Star State," Abbott said to cheers from several dozen gun rights supporters who packed a meeting room at the Alamo complex in downtown San Antonio.
The package's centerpiece, House Bill 1927, will allow holstered handguns to be carried in Texas without a permit. It was formally signed into law Wednesday, but the governor made a show of affixing his name on the legislation on Thursday. He did the same for six other bills that also take effect Sept 1.

Congrats to Texas. Your the 21st state to do this. Your northern state Oklahoma was the 14th state to go sanctuary 2A state. We went constitutional carry November 2019. That included long guns.
