Expand Constitutional Carry in Texas!

A petition to my elected officials in Austin

WHEREAS: The Right of the People to defend themselves from violent criminal attack is God-given and unalienable; and

WHEREAS: This Right is protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and includes the right to carry a handgun for self-defense; and

WHEREAS: Requiring law-abiding citizens to beg for government permission through the permit system before they can exercise their constitutional right to keep and bear arms is a clear violation of that right;

THEREFORE: On behalf of law-abiding gun owners all across the state of Texas, I insist you publicly go on record in support of expanding Constitutional Carry to 18-20 year old legal gun owners, gun owners on college campuses, and gun owners on lands managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority. Texas Gun Rights will keep me informed of your actions!

A Message  from the President

Freedom Loving Texan,

Licenses shouldn't grant special privileges. 

But even with Constitutional Carry as law of the land in Texas, some law-abiding adults are still forbidden from defending themselves without first obtaining a government permission slip:

  • If you're a military-aged adult under 21 years old, you're prohibited from carrying a handgun without a license (long guns are okay). 
  • If you're attending or visiting a college campus, you're prohibited from carrying a handgun without a license.
  • If you're carrying a handgun without a license on parks or camp sites managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), you're breaking the law!

That's why I hope you will help us end this patchwork of confusing gun laws by signing your petition, encouraging your elected official to Expand Constitutional Carry to ALL legal adults in Texas!

For Texas and Liberty,

Chris McNutt
President, Texas Gun Rights
