The Texas Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that would remove the required permit for people to carry handguns in public.
The Texas Senate version, which passed on a party-line vote, differs slightly from similar legislation already passed by the state s House.
Fox News reported that the House would then have to adopt the Senate bill or settle the difference in their versions. After that process, the bill is expected to make its way to Texas Governor Greg Abbot s desk.
Abbott said that people are already allowed to have constitutional carry for long guns in Texas.
Lubbock, Texas has just become a sanctuary city for the unborn after its residents voted to ban abortion completely, which makes it the 24th city in Texas to pass the measure. Today is a victory for life and proof that the silent majority will still stand up for its Christian conservative values, said Republican state Rep. Dustin Burrows as reported by Washington Examiner.
Lubbock voters supported Proposition A, which prohibited abortions without any exceptions. Sixty-two percent voted in its favor, while 38 percent of voters opposed it.
The ordinance said it shall be unlawful for any individual to procure or perform an abortion at any stage of pregnancy in Lubbock.
