Do You Support Open Carry In Texas? |
|
Members,
We want to thank each and every one of you who took the
time to answer our question in the last newsletter regarding your
opinion on legalizing Open Carry of handguns in Texas. Although the
voting was not unanimous, the heavy majority of those who participated
supported the legalization of open carry in some form.
|
|
Richard B. wrote: "Yes! It gives the average citizen a fighting chance in public, against criminals when no police are near."
|
|
|
|
|
Others supported open carry but say they will likely keep their firearms concealed.
Ryan S. wrote: "I support OC
because an individual should be able to choose how they carry. OC gives
the individual more flexibility in wardrobe and for their situation,
whatever it may be."
|
|
|
|
|
Then some members said they would never carry openly, but still supported the option for their fellow citizens. Art S. wrote: "I believe that open carry should be an option, even if I would never practice it."
|
|
|
|
|
Although it was a very small number, some did say that they do not support legalizing open carry of handguns.
Eric A. told us: "No, I believe it
will have the unintended consequence of inducing more owners of
businesses to prohibit firearm procession on their property."

Member Sound-Off: Do You Support Campus Carry? |
|
Now it�s time for our "Member Sound-Off." This
week we�d like to ask you about a subject that we�ve seen gun owners
divided on and one which seems to be less focused on when compared to
the push for legalizing open carry.
We want to hear your feedback, tell us: Do
you support allowing students and/or faculty to carry on college
campuses if they have a CHL?
The more responses and feedback we receive, the
better we will be able to serve you, our member base, in the coming
months and years. This will help us correctly distribute resources to
effectively fight for our liberty. We look forward to your responses.
Sincerely,
David Donchecz
Vice President of Member Services

ATF Moves Proposed Date Again |
|
Christmas came early this year for people who are
thinking about buying NFA regulated items! The ATF has moved the date
for the proposed rule that could affect your ability to own a
suppressor, short-barreled weapon, machine gun, or AOW.
As some may recall, in September of 2013 the ATF proposed a rule
that would require all �responsible persons� to receive Chief Law
Enforcement Officer authorization in order to purchase NFA regulated
items. If enacted �as-is,� this rule could potentially put a halt to the
purchase of all NFA regulated items (i.e., suppressors), for all practical purposes. After fierce opposition during the public commenting period (click here
to read Texas Law Shield�s response to Proposed Rule 41p), the ATF set
an initial target date of June 2014 to publish the final rule, but had
to delay until January 2015.
Texas Law Shield is glad to report that the ATF has
pushed the final rule�s target publication date to May 2015. In the
meantime, the law will continue to operate in the exact same fashion.
Once the ATF publishes their final rule, it will come into effect at
earliest 30 days from publication (or later, if the ATF chooses an
effective date after that). Keep in mind, this is still merely a target
date; the rule could be published early, or they could continue to delay
its publication. Texas Law Shield will keep its members informed of
this situation and of any changes in the law that impact their firearm
rights.
Before any new rule goes into effect, make sure you check out our NFA Trust Program here.
