Texas Looking To Become Next Constitutional Carry State
Texas is considering HB 375, the 'Constitutional Carry Act of 2017,' filed by State Representative Jonathan Strickland. This bill aims to eliminate the requirement for a license to carry a firearm for individuals not otherwise prohibited by law. The legislation emphasizes the Second Amendment as sufficient permit for self-defense and suggests challenging federal gun control measures via the Tenth Amendment. The Texas 85th Legislature convenes January 10, 2017.
