Fight for open carry halted
The fight for open carry may have just come to a halt.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is now doubting that the bill will pass this legislative session.
Along the campaign trail, Patrick has been actively supportive of open carry.
Now we hear somewhat of a different side.
To carry or not to carry, that is the question.
"Second amendment rights are very important but the open carry does not reach the level of being prioritizing at this point out," says Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, courtesy of Texas Tribune.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick gave some doubtful remarks Tuesday at a Texas Tribune forum.
He says there is great consensus to support the will of the people, which includes property and business tax cuts, school choice, border security and addressing the infrastructure.
Open carry was not among that list.
"No one has mentioned it to me. I don't think there is support in the legislature to pass it," says Patrick, courtesy of Texas Tribune.
