Right, I know. I was a only addressing the concept brought up in the post I quoted of having an additional law saying "everyone is license". The current bills don't do this but this concept was brought up in the post.RoyGBiv wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 9:09 amThe TX license process will still exist.

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.
Unlicensed carriers will not enjoy reciprocity when traveling out of Texas, licensed carriers reciprocal privileges will remain the same.

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.
