The new handgun ruling order is not going into effect right away. The state of Texas has 30 days to appeal.
A federal court in Fort Worth struck down a Texas ban that limited adults under 21 years old from carrying handguns.Pittman said the restriction is inconsistent with the Second Amendment and U.S. history.
According to our partners at the Texas Tribune, two plaintiffs, who fall within that 18 to 20-year-old age range, and the Firearms Policy Coalition Inc, which is a gun rights nonprofit, are the ones that filed the lawsuit against the state to challenge the statute.After Uvalde, ABC13 looked into how often guns are found on school campuses.
According to the TEA, before the pandemic, the problem grew fast, rising from 123 students disciplined for bringing guns to Texas schools in 2011 to 222 in 2019, nearly doubling in seven years."The State of Texas has not changed a single law since Uvalde. Now, just as young students are returning to school, high school seniors who are just turning 18 can openly carry a handgun? Making gun access with no background checks or training is making it harder to keep our city safe.
