The Civil Liberties Defense Foundation filed a lawsuit on October 23, 2003 against the Houston Transit Authority in an effort TO PROTECT YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

CLDF is representing Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson and several Houston area concealed handgun licensees in an effort to force Houston Metro to abandon its policy of prohibiting CHL holders from riding Metro buses.

The Authority’s actions are part of a larger effort by cities across Texas to control where you can and cannot carry a concealed handgun. As you know, the Texas Constitution gives sole authority for the regulation of firearms to the Legislature. If we allow the Transit Authority to establish this horrible precedent, it could eventually lead to a New York-style ban of firearm possession in all Texas cities with liberal leadership.

Despite the recent passage of S.B. 501 – intended to solve this problem – most of these municipalities will not abandon their policies until we force them! In fact, a recent Texas State Rifle Association survey revealed that 40% of Texas municipalities have ordinances that violate the Texas Constitution’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms.

The lawsuit against Houston Metro is just the beginning of our efforts to protect your right to carry a concealed handgun in Texas and across the nation. Your support of this effort is desperately needed!
