The Texas House of Representatives on Thursday gave initial approval to a "constitutional carry" bill that would allow for handguns to be carried, either openly or concealed, without a permit, the Texas Tribune reported.
The bill — which would nix current state requirements that residents obtain a license in order to carry a handgun — was approved by the House in an 84-56 vote, with nearly all of the chamber's Republicans and seven Democrats voting in favor. The legislation will now move on to the state Senate.
