The great state of Texas is leading the charge on 2A once again!
Constitutional Carry in Texas is on its way to the Governors desk, and Governor Abbott has already promised to sign it. The good news doesn’t stop there however, Texas is also now gearing up to move on 2A Sanctuary Legislation.
From The Texas Tribune:
Just before midnight Sunday, the House approved the deal, hashed out behind closed doors, in an 82-62 vote. The Senate approved the deal Monday in a 17-13 vote.
“This is a simple restoration of Texans’ constitutional right under the Second Amendment, a right of the people to keep and bear arms,” the Senate sponsor, Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, said on the floor Monday. “I think it is a bill that is the strongest bill I’ve seen in my legislative career regarding the rights of our Second Amendment.”
House Bill 1927 would nix the requirement for Texas residents to obtain a license to carry handguns if they’re not prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun.
As for the 2A Sanctuary legislation, this legislation has also made it through the legislature and is on its way to the Governor’s desk. As we have mentioned in a previous piece, 2A sanctuary legislation is not the ultimate gun legislation but instead, it serves as a solid obstacle for those looking to enforce gun laws.
