HB 3584 lowers the minimum age for legally carrying a handgun in Texas. It allows individuals aged 18 to 20 to carry a handgun if they have completed both a handgun proficiency course and a hunter education course. The bill amends the Penal Code to remove age-based restrictions for those who meet these training requirements. The new law will apply only to offenses committed on or after the effective date.
