Texas Agency Votes to Workers to Carry Guns on Job

The Railroad Commission of Texas has voted to allow employees to pack a weapon while carrying out agency business.


Spokesman Casey Haney said the commission on Tuesday approved a policy change that will allow workers who can legally carry a concealed handgun in Texas to have their weapons on the job.

Commissioner Barry Smitherman says employees often work alone in desolate areas where they could encounter criminals or dangerous wild animals.

The commission's primary purpose is to approve and oversee the permitting of oil and gas wells. It has no oversight of railroads.
