HB957 (Made In Texas Suppressors) just passed in the TX Senate on 2nd reading
One more and it's off to the Governor, I believe. This bill makes it legal in Texas to manufacture, transport, sell, buy, and possess a suppressor in the State of Texas so long as all the components were made in Texas.

Still not sure if I'm a fan of this one or how it will even play out.

They are felons. They have no concept of laws. They are going to carry no matter what the law says.
Their arguments is about felons who have done their time and are now tax paying citizens. I haven’t read the law yet to see where they fall in all of this.
does bring up a question though: is an individual who was convicted of a felony, did their time in the penal system and released still a felon? It’s an opinion thing I suppose except where the law states otherwise.

Should finish with a bill called "we didn't have the right to fuck with the 2nd in the
first place and can't for the rest of time".

I can answer that one for you.
I got convicted for transporting 5 lbs of weed. Got off with a fine and probation, did all that, kept the old nose clean, then petitioned the governor of the state for a pardon. I got a full pardon with restitution of all rights including firearms.
Call me felon or not, but I now hold a valid concealed carry permit in my state. Personally I dont think a non violent crime should cost you your rights. Violent is another subject.
Once a felon always a felon. At least for now.
I think as far as gun laws are concerned there needs to be a different set of criteria. I can go write a couple of hot checks and get a felony. That said other people can whoop someone in the parking lot of a night club with a tire iron and given a good lawyer get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor.
In other words all felonies are not equal and nor should they be considered as such. People convicted of violent criminal activities are one thing...but those that have never had any violence associated at all is another.
One particular story comes to mind...when I was in high school we had this guy that had a girlfriend that was a couple of years younger than him. The way the law was written at the time... the minute he turned 18 her parents called the law and he was arrested and convicted of 'rape'. His girlfriend even testified in court on his behalf telling everyone it was all consensual but it didn't stop anything from going forward. Spiteful parents ruined his life.
Later on that law was re-written but he didn't have $100,000 to blow fighting the system.
I definitely think there needs to be a re-interpretation of what are truly disqualifying factors. I also think that there needs to be an easily accessible mechanism to restore rights.
I can think of another case where back in the late 70s early 80s someone was young and dumb and got picked up on a marijuana case. They pled guilty and did their restitution and community service or whatever... but then 15 years after the fact Congress passed a law about 'drug offenses'... yep, you guessed it. He retroactively lost all his gun rights for something that didn't exist at the time.
Definitely needs a lot of reform to the system.
A felon in Texas may own a firearm five years after time served/probation ends.
They may OWN one, they may not CARRY one off their property or in their vehicle.
Sec. 46.04. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM. (a) A person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he possesses a firearm:
(1) after conviction and before the fifth anniversary of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the felony or the person's release from supervision under community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is later; or
(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at any location other than the premises at which the person lives.
If you can purchase one legally you should be able to carry it period.
