PBS News reports that Texas is on the verge of passing an open carry law that will allow Texans to pack heat in public.

On Friday, the Texas House of Representatives voted 96-35 in favor of House Bill 910, which extends the rights of citizens who have a concealed handgun license to allow them to openly carry a holstered handgun. A similar bill passed the Texas Senate last month; the two versions must be reconciled before heading to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott for signing.

Abbot is likely to give the measure his approval. During a February press conference, he said, “I will sign whatever legislation reaches my desk that expands Second Amendment rights in Texas.

Red favors sporting a Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum in a custom leather holster worn Matt Dillon style on the right thigh.  Red also favors telling anyone foolish enough to walk around with a pistol openly strapped on to any appendage that they must be suffering from a deep inadequacy complex that packing heat probably isn’t going to cure.
