"Texas lawmakers have sent to Governor Rick Perry a bill that allows concealed handgun license holders to carry a revolver or semi-automatic pistol, regardless of what they trained with on the shooting range.
Current law certifies license holders to carry only the type of gun they use to get their license. The bill by Senator Craig Estes, a Wichita Falls Republican, allows them to carry either model."
Slight correction. Currently if you qualify with a semi-automatic you can carry either a semi-auto or revolver. If you qualify with a revolver you can only carry a revolver. As stated, the new bill would allow someone who qualifies with a revolver to carry a semi-auto and vice versa.
Never understood why they made that distinction in the first place to be honest...
