Rep. Reggie Smith, Texans DEMAND that the House and Senate send a constitutional carry bill to Governor Abbott's desk this session. Anything less is NOT acceptable. Ex-Speaker Straus is gone and you are not beholden to him for anything, if he contacts you tell that bastard to go to hell, he used legislative tricks to kill constitutional carry last session and We, The People hate him for what he did. Speaker Dennis Bonnen is attempting to do the same bullshit. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. You and the rest of the Texas legislature have put this off long enough. South Dakota just passed constitutional carry and Governor Noem signed it into law:
South Dakota passed Constitutional Carry more than once.
Popular *Republican* Governor Dennis Daugaard vetoed a Constitutional Carry more than once. He vetoed a Constitutional Carry bill on March 17, 2017.
Governor Daugaard vetoed his first Constitutional Carry bill in 2012. In between, Daugaard was certain to lobby against Constitutional carry, and get it killed with legislative manuevers. Governors do not like to veto popular bills. It makes them look bad. Legislators do not like to override vetoes of governors of their party. Governor Daugaard seems to have had a phobia against Constitutional Carry.
South Dakota is now the 14th State to pass Constitutional Carry.
Oklahoma is the next state most likely to join the list. *Republican* Governor Fallin vetoed Constitutional Carry in Oklahoma in 2018, on May 11th. Oklahoma has a new governor.
The TEXAS and Oklahoma legislature need only look to South Dakota for success.

Poster Comment:
Texans, please hammer your state rep and senator to get constitutional carry legislation passed THIS SESSION. Make sure you tell your rep/senator that Speaker Dennis Bonnen is a sorry jackass, too. He deserves all the abuse we can heap upon his head.
