News SHERMAN, Texas (KTEN) — The Texas Department of Public Safety is no longer enforcing a state law that prohibits adults 18 to 20 years old from carrying handguns in public. The DPS announced the policy change in a memo that was sent to agency officers on January 10. The decision follows a ruling last August from U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth, who declared that the state law is unconstitutional. Federal judge strikes down Texas handgun law "It's very important for people, if they are going to be carrying a gun, to make sure they educate themselves on the law," said Sherman police spokesperson Sgt.
