SB 706 – Universal recognition of handgun licenses

SB 706 enhances Second Amendment protections by allowing universal recognition of out-of-state handgun licenses in Texas, ensuring lawful gun owners can exercise their rights without bureaucratic barriers. By eliminating unnecessary government oversight and annual reciprocity determinations, the bill reduces administrative costs and regulatory burdens. Additionally, it aligns Texas law with constitutional carry principles while maintaining Texas’ position as a leader in personal freedom and self-defense rights. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 706.
