How about a measure expressly permitting those with guns to open fire on ANY person attempting to take their gun after a disaster..?
That would “encourager les autres”.

Meanwhile we Missourians can open carry or conceal carry anytime. Go us!
To: Artemis Webb
Keep it and don’t let them take it away.

You need a “license” to own a gun in Texas?

Classic example of reporters writing on a subject foreign to them. Texas does not have a "gun license" - what the legislation refers to is the ability of people without a concealed carry permit to carry without it in a time of public emergency.
SOURCE. The argument was that not to do so risked the forced abandonment of firearms to any looters that might come along.
I prefer my state's approach: constitutional carry, i.e., the only permit you need to carry open or concealed is the 2nd Amendment. Serves to simplify matters considerably and I don't recall seeing any blood baths as a result.

Open and/or concealed carry by residents OK in WV for 2 years now.....no permit needed.
Lone star state should get with the program.

Same here in Arizona ... the suggestion to pass a law allowing the shooting of anyone including LE who attempts to take someones firearm without due process is a very good one.

Um... no. The article is dumb. Probably need to just read the bill.

No license to own gun in TX just license to carry open or concealed on self.
No license needed to have one in the car.

To: Billthedrill
That's an inexcusable error isn't it? The entire raison d'être of the legislation is to allow those without concealed carry permits to secure their weapons after a disaster without fear of breaking a law. Yeesh.
To: Artemis Webb
We’ll never get Constitutional Carry in Texas, at least not with our corrupt Republican Speaker of the House.

"Meanwhile we Missourians can open carry or conceal carry anytime. Go us!"Same in Arkansas. Texas needs to get on board.
To: deport
Texas is doomed. Illegal aliens have overrun the place and liberal are in charge just like in Colorado.
