I guess it is better than nothing.
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.
Great idea. But Texas will turn it into a 72 page bill filled with all kinds of nonsense restrictions with impenetrable legalese rewriting a decade of litigation to decipher.
There will be exceptions carved out to forbid anyone behind on their child support or vehicle inspection sticker from participating. Just watch.
This should be nationwide. Any prevention of it by ANY government officials should result in $100,000 fines and ten years in prison minimum for violations.
Why would something called, Constitutional Carry, be conditional?
