The Texas House appeared close to passing the legislation, but law enforcement groups persuaded lawmakers Wednesday to remove a provision that would prevent police from asking those carrying weapons for their licenses if there was no other reason to stop them.

was defeated. "Constitutional Carry" is anybody with a gun or any kind can carry it anywhere at anytime.

Thank you, Kory!
