12:25Now PlayingGov. Greg Abbott doesn’t like reporters because his policies are indefensible. Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, Mark Thompson, and SueAnn Robinson, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday visited a shooting range to sign a bill into law that significantly reduces the cost to get a license to carry a handgun, making Texas one of the states with the lowest fee in the nation.
“The right to bear arms is something that is synonymous with the state of Texas. We are proud to expand the right to bear arms by lowering the cost of what you have to pay in order to get a license to carry,” Abbott said. “Texans’ ability to bear arms is going to be even bolder today than it’s ever been before.”
The law, Senate Bill 16, reduces the first-time fee for a license to carry from $140 to $40 and the renewal fee from $70 to $40. A license to carry permit is valid in Texas for five years. The new fee will go into effect on Sept. 1.
Following the bill signing, Abbott tested out a few guns at an upstairs shooting range.
“I’m gonna carry this around in case I see any reporters,” Abbott joked while holding his bullet-ridden target sheet.”*
