Miami Police Chief Slams Texas Bill That Would Allow Unlicensed Carrying Of Handguns
HuffPost
"Common sense tells us" that the new gun measure is "ridiculous," said Art Acevedo, the former Houston police chief.
Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo on Sunday bashed a new Texas measure that would end most handgun licensing requirements in the state, calling the proposal “ridiculous” and in opposition to law enforcement agencies’ wishes. Acevedo, who led the Houston Police Department for five years before taking the top spot on the Miami force in April, suggested during an appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that the so-called “constitutional carry” bill could make officers’ jobs more difficult. “Look, there’s something that God gave us and that’s common sense,” Acevedo told host John Dickerson. “And common sense tells us that that is ridiculous. Law enforcement, police chiefs, sheriffs, police labor stood up together and made it real clear we do not support constitutional carry here in Texas or anywhere in this country.”
