    Kel Seliger from Amarillo is the lone standoff vote. I sent him a message on facebook.

    Good luck asking specific questions. I've done that numerous times and get on a boiler plate reply - and it doesn't even address the issue(s) I brought up. I think they're all crooked bastards or bastardetts :>) just some more so than others.
    Surprisingly, I have gotten specific answers at times. If not this time, I will call.

    Call his office and tell him you will give financial assistance to his primary opponent if he does not support this bill.

    I just contacted Senator Seliger's office and was polite - which I urge EVERYONE to be. The staffer tried to deny that he was against it, but that he didn't have a position yet. I quoted him:

    "Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS Section 23 - RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime."

    and stressed that requiring a license to something guaranteed to 'every citizen" is a problem. He went back to "The Senator does not have a public position" defense and I mentioned that we elect Republicans for this, and that he should urge the Senator to read the Texas Constitution and let that guide him.

    Last session I expended quite a bit of effort on CC. enough to where my State House member called me to explain the facts. The Gov. and without a doubt the Lt. Gov. do not want CC and have by their silence and lack of support shown they care not what we think. Texas may have to turn blue to get a fair shake.

    ...The Gov. and without a doubt the Lt. Gov. do not want CC...
    Yep, and that is well known. Part of my disdain for both those pompous shïtheels.

    Just one example from DP’s campaign site:
    “On Fox News’ America’s Newsroom on Friday, I told Julie Banderas I would fight to expand background checks to include all stranger-to-stranger gun sales. It makes no sense to me to allow anyone to sell a gun to someone they do not know who might be a felon or a killer. No one has worked harder to defend our Second Amendment rights than I have. In 2018, the NRA gave me an A+ rating.”


    ETA: Have I mentioned that DP could be choking on a donkey schlong and I wouldn’t cross the room except to shove it deeper down his gullett.

    This is great advice. I just sent Seliger an email advising I'd donate $200.00 to his primary opponent should he fail to support the Constitutional Carry bill passed by the house. I emailed Creighton too...he's mine and a supporter. just want to let him know I'm watching.

    Sen. Seliger,

    I understand that you are standing in opposition to Constitutional Carry. I am not in your senatorial district, but I swear to God and on my mother's grave, that I will donate to your opponents, primary or regular election, even to a Democrat, if you fail to support and vote for Constitutional Carry.

    How about 20 States already have it and it is working just fine. Two of our neighboring already have it. So the police being against it is irrelevant.
