| 33. The 'shall issue' laws |
|
that allow all law abiding citizens the ability to a acquire a permit to carry a concealed weapon started because of a mass shooting in a restaurant. The Luby's shooting in Texas is what spurred the Texas legislature to make it easier for it's citizens to carry firearms. One of the people in the restaurant left her gun in her car because it would have been illegal to carry it into the restaurant. The shooter actually took the time to reload his magazines. If someone would have had a gun they could gave stopped him, thus the shall issue law was passed.
