Getting OC passed

[Brian Boru]

And any Rep who votes him to be Speaker as well, no?

Yes, that's what I meant.

That's what Strauss is hoping for. We need to do everything we possibly can to dispose of Strauss and Villaba.

The a$$ wipe didn't have the b@lls to vote one way or the other on SB11 or HB910. He was the only representative present that did not vote.

I thought the same but traditionally the speaker will not vote.

So its normal.

Thanks, I was not aware of that. I'm surrounded by democrats and both my state rep and senator are dems so I feel disgusted with government in general.

True, and his office loves to use that fact to not take a position on things like gun rights.

Yes and no. The amendment was dropped but the 4th amendment to the constitution is still in effect lol. A watered down version of campus carry passed as well as hb905.

[quote name=&quot;Shotgun Jeremy&quot; post=1231150]Last legislative session, someone had posted a review of everything that had just happened with each gun related bill. That was VERY helpful. Maybe sometime next week, someone can post that, close it, and sticky it.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Here's a start.<br />
<br />
Signed by Governor:<br />
<br />
<font color="black">SB473</font> - Makes the lack of NFA registration or designation as a &quot;curio&quot; an element of the crime, rather than a defense to prosecution. You can currently be tried for owning a suppressor, and you must present proof of NFA registration in court as a defense.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sent to Governor (or soon to be sent to governor):<br />
<br />
<font color="black">SB273</font> - This bill seeks to provide a civil penalty for municipalities that post un-enforceable 30.06 signs. 30.06 signs posted on state or local government property are un-enforceable unless already an otherwise prohibited place.<br />
<br />
<font color="black">HB554</font> - Creates a defense to prosecution and a prohibition on arrest if a CHL inadvertently carries a handgun into the security area of an airport. Police cannot arrest a person unless they advise them of their ability to leave the security area and the CHL fails to do so. (Please still don't do this, you still face fines from the TSA.)<br />
<br />
<font color="black">HB905</font> - Preempts local knife laws in Texas, removing the patchwork of local knife ordinances across the state.<br />
<br />
<font color="black">HB910</font> - Licensed open carry. Texas will have licensed open carry on Jan 1, 2016, being the 46th state to adopt open carry legislation.<br />
<br />
<font color="black">SB11</font> - Campus carry bill

The first person that gets disarmed and held up / shot / someone else injured with their own OC weapon WILL be a major news event. The topic of not using a retention holster and training comparisons with the police will be the first things brought up.

If this happened enough to gain public awareness then it WILL present problems for future expansions of open carry.

Ergo, a retention holster is insurance not only for keeping your gun in your holster, but also avoiding feeding the media the imagery we need to avoid to further our rights.

School / workplace shootings are rare, but look at all the attention and knee jerk reaction / laws they garner.

Think beyond the box for a second here.

If you feel the need to have a mechanical device to "retain" your handgun, feel free.
If you think such a holster is gonna do a better job than the two hands you have attached to your arms, don't OC at all.

Supporting a legal requirement to have a retention hoslter is stupid. plain and simple.
