They’re asking how to PROTECT your gun rights.

It is critical that we show up and tell them why Texas must pass Constitutional Carry and end gun-free zones! 

Join us at the Capitol on Feb. 26 to give our recommendations! ?

Senate State Affairs Committee
Interim hearing on 2A issues

Texas Capitol, Senate Chambers (Austin, TX)
Wednesday, February 26 | 10 am start time
(no end time; expect it to last all day)
RSVP on Facebook today!

Topics: 

• Examine Second Amendment legislation passed since the 84th Legislative Session including open carry, campus carry, and lowering the license to carry fee.
• Determine the impact these laws have made on furthering and protecting Second Amendment rights.
• Make recommendations that may further protect and enhance Texans’ Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Our priorities are passing Constitutional Carry and ending gun-free zones, beginning in K-12 schools, but we need your help to show the committee how much you care about these policies.

GOA activists attend a legislative hearing at the Texas Capitol.

You will have 3 minutes to speak. Please begin preparing your testimony now! Tell them what you want, tell them why they should do it, and if possible, share a personal story explaining why this is important to you.

Here are some testimony ideas and resources:

• GOA factsheets on many gun rights issues
• Constitutional Carry factsheet – this explains the specific bill filed in Texas last year, HB 375
• Another Constitutional Carry factsheet – from our friends the Texas Young Republicans
• School Carry info sheet – facts and data that support ending the gun carry ban in K-12 schools
• Come And Take It – new research paper from Texas Public Policy Foundation with useful TX data
• Crimeresearch.org – John Lott’s website with data on many gun-related issues
• Personal stories! Facts and figures don’t change hearts and minds, but your stories will.

Need help? Join our meet-up the night before the hearing. Come have pizza, meet friendly faces, and finish preparing your testimony! ?
