It can get wilder. The state where I live (in the deep south), recently amended the law so that you no longer require a permit to carry a concealed handgun. And they reduced the age for concealed carry from 21+ to 18+, as well as including non-residents visiting from other states. And I don’t live in Texas btw
It definitely made me more nervous after it passed. I mean, almost anyone can carry a concealed handgun now‽ Not even have to take a few-hour class, even simply to know the laws around concealed carrying? Not a fan knowing damn near anyone could be holding and I can’t tell who. It doesn’t help that I live in a high-crime city
Open-carry is one thing, I can see the damn thing. Now it really does feel like wild-west shit. Granted, I haven’t noticed an uptick in craziness, anymore than usual… but fuck, I don’t need Jim Bob feeling anymore emboldened to be a “hero”, while knowing jack shit about the actual law
