Beto O’Rourke has been vocal about gun laws in the US and the state of Texas.

O’Rourke had critical thoughts when it came to a new law allowing Texans can carry handguns without a license or training.

"We should have 'constitutional carry' in Texas," Abbott told North Texas radio host Rick Roberts in April.

In an April poll, most Texas voters support the right to carry guns in public, but a large majority didn't support open carry without a permit, according to the latest University of Texas/ Texas Tribune poll.

While in Houston one man approached Beto O'Rourke saying 'You lost twice. No means no!' Police had to ask the man to leave.

Starting Monday 25 News will go In-Depth on the the run for Texas Governor.
