Does Texas bill end waiting periods for concealed carry?

When he signed permitless carry into law in June 2021, the Republican governor Greg Abbott did not refer to the El Paso shooting. Rather, he presented it as a defiant act to stop the federal government taking Texans’ guns, arguing that arming yourself was a form of self-defense “against attacks by others”.

“A waiting period delays the exercise of a constitutional right, and that is enough to implicate the Second Amendment,” Moros said. “The First Circuit told plaintiffs they have no claim unless a judge first decides the delay is ‘abusive.’ That is merely interest-balancing by another name.

In her pre-litigation demand letter, Dhillon reminds Walz and the other officials that SCOTUS has already warned that "lengthy wait times" in processing concealed carry permit applications can render shall-issue licensing systems unconstitutional.
