Excellent news, indeed. The open carry of handguns is about to be legal in Texas:
Open Carry just passed in both the Texas House & Senate. Next destination: My Pen. #txlege #tcot @NRA

And as if on cue, Gov. Abbott and the NRA are getting trashed over it:

We’re sure you’ll be missed. And this next one needs a trigger warning:
@gregabbott_tx Way to give a shit about anything important in this state, asshole. Enjoy sucking the gun industry's dick.

We thought that Twitter banned this type of harassment? Guess not.
@GregAbbott_TX @NRA @QuitaC_KVUE You suck Greg Abbott. Thanks for allowing my life & my kid's life in danger.

But back to the guy and others who say they won’t visit Texas now because of this law — where are you going to go instead? Open carry is already legal almost everywhere:
