Barry Obama wants us to "do something" to enhance gun safety/ school safety ... I agree, we need a Special Session of the Texas Legislature to do what Oblamer asked .... and ... whatever passes ... passes
Just a few things I'd like to see ... (I know bills, bill numbers are dead,but similar topics I'd like to see)
1) HB 3218 (Springer, R) Removes off-limits locations for CHL’s
83(R) HB 3218 - Introduced version - Bill Text

2) if not 1), then ...
CampusCarry HB706 (Capriglione, R): or HB 1298 Relating to the carrying of concealed handguns on certain premises of or locations associated with schools or institutions of higher education.
or at least a decriminalization ...HB 1078 (Kleinschmidt, R, A+): Relating to the carrying of concealed handguns on certain premises of or locations associated with institutions of higher education.
