Concealed carry of handguns will still be allowed in city meetings following a vote by City Council.
A resolution which could prohibit firearms “where a meeting of the City Council or any city board, commission, committee or body is being held if the meeting is an open meeting subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act” was opposed by the San Marcos City Council Tuesday evening. Six council members voted against the resolution, with the exception of Councilmember Joca Marquez, who voted in favor.
Following the decision, individuals licensed to carry a concealed handgun may continue to bring their handguns into city meetings. Those without a license to carry are still unable to bring a handgun into city chambers, and open carry is still prohibited.
