Every day's a disaster with Democrats and RINOs in office.
The Texas House has approved a measure that lets gun owners carry their weapons in the open, or concealed, for a week after a government declaration of a disaster. The vote was 102-29.
The next step will be a state Senate hearing, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
“I don’t want someone to feel like they have to leave their firearms back in an unsecured home for a week or longer, and we all know how looting occurs in storms,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Dade Phelan, a Republican. “Entire neighborhoods are empty and these people can just go shopping, and one of the things they’re looking for is firearms.”

The newspaper noted that Florida allows unlicensed handgun owners to carry them during mandatory evacuations.
“I think one day constitutional carry will be in that vein, where it’s not a big deal,” Phelan said. “I think we’ll get there one day, but it takes small steps like this to prove to people that law-abiding citizens are just fine carrying a firearm.”
