Today at the Range at Austin, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed SB16, legislation to drastically lower the fee to the state for the License to Carry from $140 to $40. The largest amount any Texan will pay for their license as for September 1st will be $40.
Attending the bill signing ceremony was Senator Robert Nichols, the author of SB 16, House Sponsor Representative Phil King plus Representatives Kyle Kacal and DeWayne Burns attended as joint authors.
For over 20 years Texas has had one of the most expensive handgun licenses in the country. The passage of SB 16 makes our license one of the least costly. The 5 year License to Carry will now be the equivalent of $8 a year.
Thank you, Governor Abbott, Lt. Governor Patrick and the Texas Legislature for making this a priority issue. It's been a long time coming!

Meanwhile, I sent off to Arizona to get my concealed weapons permit from that state. The failure of the REPUBLICAN legislature to pass House Bill 1911 (constitutional carry) was the last straw for me. Fuck those bozo's in Austin, they're not worth a shit.
