Constitutional Carry is hot right now. The list of states officially supporting the practice has grown to nearly half of the US. Texas recently became the twenty-first such state, and this new legislation will go into effect as of September 1st of this year. Second Amendment advocacy groups are working with legislators in several other states as well, so hopefully, the list will grow beyond twenty-one in the not-too-distant future. According to the National Association for Gun Rights, some of the next Constitutional Carry candidates could potentially include Michigan, Alabama, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and South Carolina. With this, organizations like U.S. LawShield are endeavoring to provide relevant education to firearms owners.

In light of the growing support for this movement, U.S. LawShield has decided to put out some relevant information. U.S. LawShield is an organization dedicated to providing its members with resources relevant to self-defense, particularly in the legal realm. It was founded by a group of attorneys who wanted to combat what they saw as “…the hostility and abuse in the legal system directed toward responsible gun owners.” They also provide educational resources for circumstances in particular states or regarding specific relevant topics. One of these has been Constitutional Carry, and U.S LawShield recently issued the following press release about it.

Fun fact: TFBTV’s own James Reeves is a lawyer by day, and he serves as one of U.S LawShield’s independent partner attorneys.
