Support NRA-ILA
Yesterday, the Texas Legislature accepted the conference committee report for House Bill 1927, their constitutional/permitless carry bill. It will now go to Governor Greg Abbott for his signature. He has previously stated his intention to sign a constitutional carry bill. Once he signs it, Texas will be the 21
st constitutional carry state, joining the other four states that have passed such legislation in 2021.
While Texas beat Alabama to be 21
st, Alabama still has the chance to be the 22
nd next year. Rep. Shane Stringer has prefiled House Bill 6 for 2022, to allow law-abiding adults to carry handguns for self-defense without first having to go through government red tape or pay fees.

No licence, no background check needed for handguns in Texas
Texas is poised to remove one of its last major gun restrictions after lawmakers approved allowing people to carry handguns without a licence, and the background check and training that go with it.
The Republican-dominated Legislature approved the measure today, sending it to Governor Greg Abbott, who has said he will sign it despite the objections of law enforcement groups who say it would endanger the public and police.
Gun control groups also oppose the measure, noting the state s recent history of mass shootings, including those at an El Paso Walmart, a church in Sutherland Springs, and a high school outside Houston.
