AUSTIN – State Sen. Charles Perry said Wednesday he wants to make it easier for some Texans to get a concealed handgun license.

Perry, R-Lubbock, filed a bill that would reduce the minimum caliber training for concealed handgun licensing, from .32 caliber to .22 caliber.

“As a strong advocate for Second Amendment rights, I am always looking for ways to simplify handgun licensing and make access easier for all,” Perry said after filing Senate Bill 179. “This bill allows for individuals looking to carry a smaller caliber weapon the flexibility to practice and test on the weapon they will actually be carrying day-to-day.”

The Texas State Rifle Association welcomes Perry’s proposal because some Texans have a difficult time handling .32 caliber weapons

Does it really matter at this point? Abbott has already said he will support open carry.

Come February I will be strapping on my 38, and god forbid the first person who makes a KMface at me.
