I can imagine a possible next step. With or even without constitutional carry, a serious disaster can imply destruction and separation from one’s domicile. Yet this is where most privately owned guns are stored.
So, before constitutional carry, state law should permit Sheriffs to issue “provisional emergency gun licenses and loaner guns with ammo” to individuals who are not convicted criminals or are otherwise barred from having them, so that they may defend themselves and their families; or as necessary, to act as deputies for the Sheriff.
Much the same after constitutional carry but with some technical differences. The temp license with photo would be laminated, they would be issued a large, shiny badge or armband to identify them at a distance as *not* being a looter.
I’m sure other things could be added or removed from the bill.
And those are exactly the kind of Byzantine regulations and questions the Texas legislature will think are deeply critical.
Legal constitutional carry within counties designated as a FEMA disaster zone is much too simple for the DPS, and legislators.
