The school nurse just called. Your kid has a fever of 102ºF and needs to go to the doctor. If you’re like most concealed carriers, that means leaving work and high-tailing it over to the school.

Thankfully, Texas legislators are now considering a law that would allow specifically licensed individuals to leave a gun locked in their car while they go inside.

House Bill 1692 was filed by state Rep. Cole Hefner, R-Mt. Pleasant. In its provisions, there is specific mention of allowing licensed individuals to keep a firearm in a locked car while it is parked in a public school parking lot.
