Journals

In early 2021, the Board of Directors of the Texas Handgun Association voted to suspend the quarterly publication of the journal to concentrate on our more popular weekly e-newsletter, The Weekly Shot.  With progress comes change. We hope our members will find that this change will provide quicker access to information, newer and fresher content, and better stewardship of membership funds.  Previous editions of The Texas Handgun Journal, formerly The Concealed Handgun, is listed with the most recent first.
