Easy way to keep the pressure up:

Texas Gun Rights Action Center

Contact your elected officials to help defeat any gun control that pops up in Austin or Washington, and to continue fighting to RESTORE the Second Amendment!

Done and done. Thank you, Todd.

I used the ToddnJoyce link too - but I changed the words to match the current status of the Bill.

It’s not in the hands of the Lt Gov. anymore - he did all he could do, in managing it’s progress through the Senate. I’ve actually sent him a note of ‘Thanks’ for all his effort in getting the Constitutional Carry Bill passed in the Senate. Shutting down Senator Eckhardt is no small chore. (I swear, that lady has mental issues).

And of course, Gov. Abbott as the state’s chief Executive, doesn’t play a role in the Legislative branch at all. (Perhaps, other than signaling that he’d sign the Bill if it makes it to his desk - thus, letting the Legislature know it wouldn’t run into any opposition from him).

Who’s hands is it in? Well...primarily the House. More specifically, the House & Senate reconciliation committee. It’s their job to come to an agreement in reconciling the two different versions of the Bill. And since the Senate has had the most recent say (it’s their “offer” that’s on the table), it falls primarily on the House committee to accept the Senate’s changes. So the ball is in their court.

Who’s on this committee? ...I have no idea.

Man I wrote each one of these fuckers 7 or 8 times and this will be the last. Guess we get to see if these people are more loyal to police chiefs, or their constituents.

Keep the pressure on guys.
Please let the committee know that we want this passed, this session.
We can massage the kinks out in a couple of years.
Especially let mailto:Matt.Schaefer@house.texas.gov
know that we've fought too hard to walk away empty handed.

(Some rumblings that the author may kill it if it's not perfect)

And above all, don't get ugly, stupid or threatening.
Remember where TOC got us last time?

Thanks!

Well said, Vaquero. With being this close to success, we do not want to let ego or perfection stand in the way of good enough, especially considering there is essentially eight working days left in the session and it’ll be two years before we have the chance again.

Just sent my email out and included this phrase in an effort to drive the point home:

I can assure you that millions of Texas voters are watching you and your colleagues on this matter and the outcome will either solidify or erode the support that you will have in upcoming elections.

The erosion of individual rights being led by the Democrats in Washington must be countered at the State level and be aware that the eyes of Texas and the nation are upon you during this critical time.

When are they going to put it through a full/last vote

Pretty soon or it will be dead.

The conference committee can let it die or issue a report after reconciling differences. Once that report is issued, then both chambers can take it back up for a vote. There are six working days left in the session for that to happen.

Nicely stated!

Likewise, just used Rachel Malone’s contact number list & sent a short text message to each committee member encouraging them to get the necessary adjustments made and get this bill to the governor for his signature.

Good job(!) to all those that took time to make a difference. Governor Abbott will sign it like he promised and come first of September 2021, Texans will regain a personal, individual Right they haven’t had since Reconstruction when sidearms were outlawed being carried in saddlebags.

Hey guys, there are not an overwhelming amount of thumb downs on this video. Please change that.

I'll do it. But I don't give a single **** what the rest of utube thinks.

Are there a lot of constitutional minded people that care what The Young Turks might think?

 

[toddnjoyce]

uTube says I gotta register to dislike. Big ol’ nope for me.

 

[easy rider]

Big problem with likes and dislikes on Youtube, the more of both means it will be more often recommended. I may click like for a video, but after learning that, I don't dislike videos.

 

[AKM47]

I guess it's time to go get a bottle of Wild Turkey and celebrate

Looks like one of the unexpected benefits of Constitutional Carry may be more leftists swearing they will never come to Texas!
