Congrats to all Texans!
The Bill isn't perfect, but it is a step in the right direction.

Since the OC via Belt part requires an Active Retention device, I picked up on a Serpa CQC paddle holster for my Shield...
But I'll be ponderin' a fancy leather rig for my Blackhawk.![]()
I'm glad it passed, even if it has that provision in it. Of course we'll have to wait for the final bill to be signed to know exactly what is required of the police and open carriers.
Another question is if it applies only to Texas CHL holders or if people who have licenses from any state that Texas recognizes can open carry?
Well,
When Gov. Abbott sign's it in to law....
I'll get started on thar BBQ rig karma.
Su Amigo,

I believe we discussed an OWB Holster needing active retention earlier in this very thread, but I will scan each and every amendment and try to locate it in the actual Bill.I couldn't find the section that requires an Active Retention Device. Could you please post that section?
Thanks
I feel your pain. "Them and us" in regard to LEO doesn't apply to me.While I understand what you say, I have to strongly disagree. This position to me is being submissive to the thought that we have to EARN our Constitutional right. This says we've allowed "them" to put the burden of proof on "us".
Wrong place in the line IMO.
Perhaaps we should just look at it as an opportunity to meet and prove our sanity, responsibility and normalcy to Officer Friendly.
Gotta start somewhere.....
Okay.. Found a part dealing with Holsters: Section 22, (b), (2)I couldn't find the section that requires an Active Retention Device. Could you please post that section?
Thanks
Okay.. Found it: Section 22, (b), (2)
SECTION 22. Sections 411.188(b) and (g), Government Code, are amended to read as follows: (b) Only qualified handgun instructors may administer the classroom instruction part or the range instruction part of the handgun proficiency course. The classroom instruction part of the course must include not less than four hours and not more than six hours of instruction on: (1) the laws that relate to weapons and to the use of deadly force; (2) handgun use and safety, including use of restraint holsters and methods to ensure the secure carrying of openly carried handguns;

Well, I rekon you can call the Gov up, and tell him not to sign it cause you're not happy with it, and we can start over.![]()

This does not state the term Active Restraint...
Hopefully, it was an amendment that got voted down.
The search continues.![]()
