The current licensing system could still be left in place and serve for reciprocity.jerry_r60 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:31 am
The solution of saying everyone is licenses may end reciprocity for the TX license. I recall part of the reciprocity concept in several states is that the licensing requirements of a reciprocal state is similar to their own. I'm not familiar what's been done with other states that have constitutional carry.

Re: If Const. Carry passes, a signage question
The gun free school zone act contains an exception for law-enforcement official Acting in his official capacity. I would be willing to bet my pocket change there has never ever been an arrest, never mind trial and conviction, of a law enforcement officer current through a school zone While off duty. All the arrests and convictions I’ve read about that made it to the appellate level have all been add on charges because the individual was caught doing something else majorly illegal, usually involving drugs and fleeing the police.
As for constitutionally carrying Joe Citizen, while it would probably be illegal for him to drive through a school zone, That is a federal law and the trend in the states that allow constitutional carry is to not enforce federal nuisance gun laws. I don’t think this is going to be a major threat until Joe gets enough for storm troopers to go guard each school zone.
The Leg still has a chance to fix this, they could statutorily declare each citizen is licensed by the state By virtue of being a resident of Texas and a non-prohibited person, And that any Identification accepted as sufficient for voting purposes would also serve as a license to carry.
