It will have to get amended if we want it to sail smoothly. It will get the amendment to start on Jan 1, no doubt. That's only 4 months behind the original date. That's not so long to wait.Pecos wrote:mr1337: your post answers a lot of my questions. Let's hope it doesn't get amended.

They still need to pass out of House committee and through the House before Abbot can sign them into law.
Open Carry will go into effect Jan 1, 2016 if the House bill gets amended like the Senate bill did - if passed by the House and signed by the Governor.
Campus Carry will go into effect Sept 1, 2015 unless amended - if passed by the House and signed by the Govenor
HB910 (the House licensed open carry bill) has passed favorably out of committee. We'll just need to get it through calendars committee and onto the floor. I'm pretty sure it already has the votes to pass.
