Bill > SR140

This resolution commends the Waco Chapter of A Girl and A Gun, a national organization that supports women in shooting sports and self-defense, on the occasion of its 14th anniversary. The organization, which first hosted a conference in Waco in 2013 and officially established its local chapter in 2021, focuses on welcoming women and girls into the shooting community by providing firearms education, safety training, and fellowship. The Waco Chapter meets twice monthly and helps break down barriers for women in shooting sports by offering both beginner and advanced-level opportunities for learning pistol, rifle, and shotgun skills. The Texas Senate recognizes the chapter's commitment to empowering women, promoting firearms safety and proficiency, and providing a supportive community for women interested in shooting. As part of the resolution, the Senate officially commends the chapter members and wishes them continued success, and will prepare an official copy of the resolution to be presented to the Waco Chapter as an expression of esteem.
