I would say less than 5 years. When Ted Cruz almost loses to a white man that tries to act like he’s Hispanic you know it’s went to Hell.
Constitutional Carry, in the form of HB 2597, is first in the barrel for this session with a committee hearing later this morning (Thursday, 2/7), along with some other bills to advance firearms freedom. SB 12, authored by Nathan Dahm, is the Senate version and is on a later schedule for committee hearing in the Senate.
HB 2597 passed the Public Safety Committee on a 9-2 vote with two other members absent. Now it's on to the House floor for debate and votes.
Don Spencer, president of OK2A, has posted that this measure will see the House floor this coming Wednesday, 2/13.
I'm surprised that no one has posted this here! The House passed HB 2597 by an overwhelming majority, 70 to 30, with one legislator excused. Six Republicans voted against the measure: Bush (Tulsa,) Nolan (Tulsa/Sand Springs,) Talley (Stillwater/Perkins/Cushing,) and Reps. Trey Caldwell, Pae and Worthen (Lawton.) No Democrats voted for the measure.
I'm gonna guess it wasn't posted here because we've got a few constitutional carry threads that several folks have been keeping up in. Posting it under this thread title is probably a good thing too.
My impression of Texans was influenced by my experience with some of them over the years. I found them extremely hard working, just minded, unlikely to back down from a good fight, rational, humorous, insightful into the character of others, and often somewhat larger than life (they think a lot of themselves....LOL). They are, by a large majority, good people. My earliest impressions were obtained in while serving in the USMC. These impressions were confirmed after moving to Oklahoma from NYC in 1977.
My Wife was born an raised in rural Oklahoma. Her best friend from High School married a cotton farmer who worked the red sloping hills along the Salt Branch of the Brazil’s River outside of Roby, Texas. I spent a vacation there helping him plough, build terraces and plant cotton in three figure heat. Then we spent the night in a horrendous downpour that destroyed about 1/3 of our work. This man died of a heart attack at age 41, and he wasn’t fat or out of shape, either.
Other native Texans I’ve known worked in the Oil Industry, Construction and Medical Fields. God willing, I will die in Oklahoma (Wife says the sooner the better!), but I will always defend the honor of the men and women of Texas. My Great Granddaughter was born there!

I'm from Texas. Moved here with my new bride when I was 18.
Texas is just like Oklahoma... some good folks, some not so much. Putting all people of any state in the same pile is dumber than a stump.
Just my two Texan cents.
