Texas does not have many gun laws, the residents in Texas believe that open-carry should be legal. Last Monday a gunman killed his grandmother-in-law and 25 others at a church in Texas. This man killed 25 people and most of the people that were in the church including kids were injured. After he got out of the church an armed citizen shot him, but he did not die from that wound, after the citizen shot him he called his father saying that he was not going to make it and then shot himself. The governor said that he was denied to carry a gun because he had cases of domestic violence, but still he managed to get the gun to make the massacre in the church. ( Yan.)
Texas has some gun laws but no permit is required to carry for the purchase of rifles, shotguns, ammunition or any firearm component in the state. the only qualifications pertinent to the purchase of a fire arm is that the person is more than 18 years old and that is a resident of the state, minors can purchase weapons as long as their parents provide them a written permission.("Texas gun laws."). Nothing similar to New York. In New York is required a permit to buy a rifle or a shotgun, must be 21 years old, have no prior felony or serious offense convictions, be of good moral character, have a legally recognized reason for wanting to posses a firearm. The person attempting to get a permit is going to need also a physical description, criminal history, mental health history, character references etc.( "apply for a fire arm"). It is unlawful for any person to carry, posses or transport a handgun in or through the N.Y. state unless he has a valid New York License. ("New York gun laws.").
