Abbott to sign 2 gun bills at shooting range

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN — Two hotly debated gun bills will clear a final hurdle Saturday.

Gov. Greg Abbott is holding a ceremony at a shooting range outside Austin to sign bills to “expand Second Amendment rights,” his office said Friday. That includes the contentious proposals — opposed by Democrats — to allow open carry and campus carry.

“Open carry & campus carry will be legalized in Texas tomorrow with this pen,” the Republican wrote on Twitter on Friday, showing a picture of a Sharpie with his name on it.

There’s been little doubt Abbott would OK the gun bills, given that he said in February that he would sign any legislation that “expands Second Amendment rights in Texas.” Abbott has said he owns three guns: two pistols and a shotgun.
