The voters in my District and around Texas strongly support a citizen's right to defend themselves. We have a strong certification process here in Texas and concealed handgun licensees have gone through a thorough background check. The environment for expanding responsible handgun protection has improved statewide. I know there is a significant amount of support in the House, from both new and senior members. If the bill makes it to the House floor, I feel confident it passes. It's not going to be easy, but for the sake of our students, it needs to happen.
