A very cantankerous Texas Legislature adjourned sine die on Memorial Day.
Thanks to your phone calls and emails, NRA-ILA was able to pass four major pro-gun initiatives this year, in spite of the virtual shutdown in the House through the last weeks of session during an unruly leadership struggle:
-Senate Bill 378 by State Senator Jeff Wentworth (R-San Antonio) and State Representative Joe Driver (R-Garland), NRA-backed "Castle Doctrine" legislation;
-Senate Bill 112 by State Senator John Carona (R-Dallas) and State Representative Frank Corte (R-San Antonio), an NRA-supported bill preventing the confiscation of firearms during a future state of emergency or natural disaster;
-House Bill 991 by State Representative Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) and State Senator Bob Deuell (R-Greenville), NRA-backed Concealed Handgun License (CHL) confidentiality legislation; and,
-House Bill 1815 by State Representative Carl Isett (R-Lubbock) and State Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa (D-McAllen), an NRA-backed measure which clarifies once and for all that law-abiding Texas motorists may legally transport a handgun in their vehicle for personal protection without needing a CHL.
Thanks also to our bill sponsors and their staff for working hard to pass these important bills into law!
Successful Legislative Session Closes in Texas!

Because gun control has little or nothing to do with solving problems (other than the “problem” of Americans owning guns), marketing is crucial to its success.
