AUSTIN (1080 KRLD) - Texas lamakers wrap up this Legislative session today and headed to the Governor's desk is a bill that would allow Texans to carry their guns for up to a week after a natural disaster.
The Senate narrowly approved the bill last night.
If it becomes law, any Texan who can legally own a firearm would be able to carry their handgun, open or concealed, for a full week after a state or natural disaster is declared.
The NRA supports the bill according to the Dallas Morning News but gun control groups like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense say it would present too many problems for police following a natural disaster.
