In my opinion the great state of Texas should be the leader in passing ALL gun legislation to not only institute Constitutional Carry but also protect all Texans 2A rights as it is laid out in our Constitution that every politician takes an oath to protect laid out by our founding fathers with NO exceptions! Please make all Texans proud to live in the great state of Texas and be the leader in 2A protection for their citizens! Jeffrey Sanders Republican party Santa anna, TX It is our god given right to carry without a license and should never be infringed on. The constitution saids we need to carry and own the weapons to stop a over reach of government who is trying to take our rights away. So stop trying to remove our rights. Our founding fathers didn't say only some could own and carry they said we all needed to own and carry. Yall also need to stop trying to regulate what kind of weapons we can carry as well. We the American people should be able to carry what our military carry so we can hold the same fire power to stop a all powerful over reaching government, witch is what we have now in Congress and Senate and White House. We are the American people u work for us and nerd to stop trying to strip our rights away. We do not need u to govern us. We dont need you, you need us . With out us there is no yall. We will decide what we want to carry and when to carry without a license. Its our god given and constitutional right. Greg Sichi, Sgt. Self/Investigator Lewisville, TX Shall not be infringed.

Mitchell Peters Moto Sage El Paso, TX Constitutional carry should already be in the Great State of Texas. We never should be forced to get a license. It’s in the constitution to have the right to bear arms. Stop attempting to tell us what we law abiding citizens can and cannot do. Sara Tucker Self Denton, TX So portion of our society are trying to rid us of our constitutional right to carry firearms. Please start by making Texas a constitutionally protected fire arm state.

A tax, registration approval, are mere forms of that infringement and is in itself unconstitutional. It’s time to affirm that right as many states have already done and now, it is Texas’s time. Don’t let us down, defend that right! Michael Zimmermann Mike's Mobile Auto Repair SEAGOVILLE, TX we as law abiding citizens need to be able protect are love ones and are self's.

Blaine Winderl, Rev. n/a Killeen, TX I fully support constitutional carry by legal adult citizens in Texas. Page 3 of 57 COMMENTS FOR: HB 1094 Al Bradley, Mr. Self Retired Pilot Rockport, TX The Second Amendment guarantees that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." This means that law-abiding citizens should not have to beg the government for permission to carry a firearm. That would turn the "right" to bear arms into a mere "privilege." People should not have to be photographed, fingerprinted, or registered before they can exercise their Second Amendment rights. Criminals certainly do not jump through these "hoops." Jackie Martin Self Vidor, TX Persons who are legal gun owners should be able to care a gun to protect their children, lives without obtaining a permits Antonio RIVERA Self/Retired Bulverde, TX I support the passage of this bill. It's a known factor that while authorities respond to emergencies and calls for help, it is also a known factor that the arrival or response came a little too late and the criminal has already accomplished the crime. The passage of this bill will help in stopping the criminals before a crime has occurred or about to occur, i.e. injury or murder.

Criminals should get a longer sentence if they are carrying when they commit the crime! Kimberly Taylor Self / Self-Employed Kerrville, TX I want to voice my opinion that law-abiding citizens without a felony record should be able to conceal carry a handgun on their person without a license. It is well known that criminals already do not obey the law, and they carry without a license. As a law- abiding citizen, it would be a comforting measure to protect me from criminals out to commit a crime against my family or me. John Gagne, Mr Self - Retired Coleman, TX Constitutional Carry of a firearm is the only reasonable and legal application of the law for the United States of America. The fact that Texas, of states in America, does not have this as the law of our land is really quite an embarrassment at the very least. As citizens, the U.S. Constitution recognizes our right to self-defense against all enemies foreign and domestic. This includes and specifically regards our own government. Any proposed limitation of this right is an affront to all Americans, especially Texans. Most importantly regarding all Texans. Thank you for your time. Will Johnson, mr self Plano, TX Other states already allow for constitutional carry whether open or concealed.
