Texas Senate Committee To Consider Clarification to Right-To-Carry Legislation! Tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, May 17, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee will consider House Bill 1815 by Representative Carl Isett (R-Lubbock) and Senator Juan Hinojosa (D-McAllen). This important NRA-supported measure will clarify, once and for all, that it is legal to transport a handgun in your motor vehicle for personal protection without a Concealed Handgun License (CHL), provided you are eligible to possess the firearm under state and federal law, you are not a member of a criminal street gang, and you are not committing any criminal activity at the time (other than a traffic violation,) and as long as the handgun is hidden from plain view.

If you are a Texas resident, please contact the members of the committee below first thing Thursday morning and urge them to support HB 1815:

Chairman John Whitmire 512-463-0115 john.whitmire@senate.state.tx.us

Vice-Chairman Kel Seliger 512-463-0131 kel.seliger@senate.state.tx.us

Sen. John Carona 512-463-0116 john.carona@senate.state.tx.us

Sen. Bob Deuell 512-463-0102 bob.deuell@senate.state.tx.us

Sen. Glenn Hegar 512-463-0118 glenn.hegar@senate.state.tx.us

Best just to get your CHL and then you just don't have to worry about it. To many stinking laws and not enough common sense.

Agreed with tghat as a TX CHL, but more clarifications and stronger 2A laws are always welcome, even for those of us that it won't apply to.
