After passing the Texas House, the Firearms Carry Act appears to face a tough road when it moves to the upper chamber.
The legislation allowing Texans to carry guns without having to pass a background check or go through training passed on April 16 with District 4 State Representative Keith Bellâs backing.
âI am supporting House Bill 1927, also known as the Firearm Carry Act,â Bell said. âHB 1927 will uphold our Constitutional Rights and makes clear that citizens are endowed with the right to protect themselves, their families, and their property.
The House vote was 87 to 58.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick referred the bill Friday to the Special Senate Committee on Constitutional Issues. Patrick said there is currently not enough support in the Senate to pass the bill.
