The ‘ Constitutional Carry’ bill  passed the State House in a final vote Friday. The bill seeks to no longer require Texans to take written exams  or training  tests before purchasing a handgun. Handguns will still be illegal in schools, sporting events and hospitals. The bill’s sponsor, State Representative  Matt Schaefer  (R) said the legislation would allow more people to be able to protect  themselves  and their families.

President Biden  Friday demanded the Republicans in the  Senate  move on passing gun background check legislation, calling the string of mass shootings and gun violence a "national embarrassment." Biden pushed the Senate to take a vote on  House-passed legislation  that would expand background checks and close certain loopholes.
