The winning quote from that article:v7a wrote:Report: Abbott says open carry still has a strong chance of passingAUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday there’s a strong chance that open carry legislation passes this session, even after a gun rights activist roiled the debate this week by appearing to threaten lawmakers opposed to the measure.
Abbott told a Lubbock radio station that “heated exchanges” notwithstanding, “the votes probably are there for open carry,” according to the Houston Chronicle. The Republican has previously said he would sign open carry legislation if it reaches his desk.
“I certainly think that’s the way the probability’s leaning right now,” Abbott told Chad Hasty on News Talk 790 AM in Lubbock.
Rep. Charlie Geren – chairman of House Administration, which helps coordinate Capitol security – told the Dallas Morning News that officials take all threats seriously. He declined to get into specifics but said “we take the security of all of our members very, very seriously.”
“These fools that want to run their mouth off should understand that,” he said.
