Frequently Asked Questions

What is Beto O'Rourke's current stance on gun control?

Beto O'Rourke has recently called for finding 'common ground' on gun control in Texas. He advocates for respecting the Second Amendment while implementing safety measures like universal background checks, red flag laws, and safe storage laws, which critics argue are disguised infringements on gun rights.

Does Texas Governor Greg Abbott support a policy of no background checks for gun purchases?

No, the claim that Texas Governor Greg Abbott supports a policy of 'no background checks' is false. Federal law mandates background checks for all legal firearm purchases from FFL dealers through the NICS system and Form 4473. There is no state policy by Abbott to eliminate these federally mandated checks.

What does Texas's constitutional carry law actually permit?

Texas's constitutional carry law allows eligible individuals to carry a handgun without a state-issued permit. It does not eliminate background checks for purchasing firearms. The law permits carrying a firearm that has already been legally acquired and passed a background check, without requiring a second check solely for the purpose of carrying it.

Are firearms allowed on school grounds in Texas?

Generally, Texas law prohibits individuals from knowingly possessing a firearm on the premises of a school or educational institution. This prohibition was not changed by the passage of constitutional carry legislation, meaning firearms remain banned on school grounds.
