USA Today chided Texas for “lax” concealed carry laws after the Sutherland Springs church shooting but the attacker, Devin Kelley, was denied such a permit.
Governor Greg Abbott (R) says the attacker was denied a Texas concealed carry permit.
USA Today criticized Texas concealed carry laws nonetheless. They pointed to the reduced fees for a permit, effective this year, whereby the price dropped from $14o to $40. The paper reported that a portion of the concealed carry safety course can be done online and that possession of a permit lets the holder carry openly or concealed.
The flagship Gannett Company outlet added, “The open carry law allows licensed gun owners to carry their weapons in most public spaces.”
None of these laws have anything to do with Sunday’s incident, as the attacker was denied a Texas carry permit.

ReplyDeleteSame dummies want more firearm legislation. The ignoramuses think the government will protect them with more laws. That's democrats for you brainless imbeciles. There is already a law in place that had it worked would have prevented this person from owning any firearms. The government failed. The Air Force was supposed to enter his criminal record of domestic violence into the FBI database and failed. This was under Obama's watch of course. Hopefully President Trump will tighten the reins and hold whoever was derelict in their duties accountable.
