↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Expands eligibility for concealed handgun licenses to additional categories of active and retired judicial officers, including certain associate judges and federal judges, so more people can legally carry handguns.
"Active judicial officer" means: (A) a person serving as a judge or justice of the supreme court, the court of criminal appeals, a court of appeals, a district court, a criminal district court, a constitutional county court, a statutory county court, a statutory probate court, a justice court, or a municipal court; (B) a federal judge who is a resident of this state; or (C) a person appointed and serving as an associate judge under Chapter 201, Family Code.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Government Code §411.201 to expand the definitions of 'active judicial officer' and 'retired judicial officer' who qualify for a license to carry a handgun, directly increasing the number of individuals with legal authority to carry firearms under Texas law. No provisions address other topics such as background checks, weapon restrictions, transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
