TX Governor Issues Order to Eliminate Gun-Free Zones
In the wake of the Chattanooga shootings, at least one state governor is taking action to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen in his state. KLTV reports:
Governor Greg Abbott announced Saturday he will authorize the Adjutant General John Nichols of the Texas National Guard to arm National Guard personnel at military facilities across Texas.
This order comes following the recent shooting on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee that resulted in the deaths of four United States Marines and one Navy Sailor.
“It is with a heavy heart that I issue this order,” said Governor Abbott. “After the recent shooting in Chattanooga, it has become clear that our military personnel must have the ability to defend themselves against these type of attacks on our own soil. Arming the National Guard at these bases will not only serve as a deterrent to anyone wishing to do harm to our service men and women, but will enable them to protect those living and working on the base.”
It’s astounding that nobody has issued an order like this years ago.
Thankfully, Abbott has some common sense. His order will eliminate gun-free zones in Texas and deter future criminals from attempting mass shootings.
