Starting Sept. 1, eligible Texans will be eligible to carry a handgun without a license or training.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a permitless carry bill to make this all possible.

Previously, a permit was needed with required training.

Texans over the age of 21 (unless you’re active-duty military) who can legally purchase a handgun and open or conceal carry can do so without getting a state-issued license beginning Sept. 1.
