Texas Enacts ‘Constitutional Carry’ Law for Handguns

Texas has implemented a new law allowing residents aged 21 and older to carry handguns openly or concealed without the need for a state-issued license, effective September 1, 2021. This legislative shift, known as “constitutional carry,” eliminates previous requirements for training, a proficiency exam, and background checks specifically for carrying a handgun, leading supporters to claim it restores Second Amendment rights essential for personal defense.

However, the law has drawn criticism from law enforcement and gun safety advocates who argue it may inadvertently increase gun violence and complicate police work during active investigations. Despite these concerns, Texas joins 19 other states that have passed similar laws, making it the most populous state to do so. Understanding the implications of these changes is crucial as they can significantly impact both gun ownership rights and public safety across the state.
