House Bill 1379 amends the Local Government Code to authorize an individual who was a peace officer commissioned by a county who is honorably retired to purchase a firearm from the county if the firearm had been previously issued to the individual by the county and the firearm is not a prohibited weapon. An individual may purchase only one firearm from a county, and the commissioners court is required to establish the amount, not to exceed fair market value, for which the firearm may be purchased.
