Texas Law Enforcement Frets New Permitless Carry Law

“A new state law will soon let most Texans carry handguns in public without going through training or having to get permits,” the Texas Tribune reports.

“But some Texas law enforcement officers fear that removing restrictions to carrying handguns could increase crime rates while putting officers and residents in danger.”

Said  James McLaughlin, head of the Texas Police Chiefs Association: “I don’t know what it’s a solution to. I don’t know what the problem was to start with.”
