turned on video of house just in time to see "I don't understand" guy

quickly turned it off, but not before figuring out his name ...

Anyone in this guy's east Houston district? I'll raise money for you if you want to run against him. My only prerequisite is that you can fog a mirror AND understand this sentence "this bill ONLY allows those persons legally authorized to possess guns to possess them in their vehicles in a parking lot"

Wrong feed--that's the Senate; SB321 is on the floor of the House.

yeah, my connection dropped and now I can't get it back up again. was getting interesting debating amendment taking away ALL negligence from companies and Eiland was bringing up how contractors are getting screwed from both sides - can't bring gun (not an employee), but also can't sue company if someone hurts them with gun. very good point. seems like the senators who did their homework are finally showing up

not sure how much more of this I can watch

to be fair, over 2000 bills were proposed this year, so I can see how its hard to be up on all of them. But, if the aides haven't done the research to fill a Rep in on it, maybe he should get some better aides instead of asking silly questions on the floor. It's called research, and its kind of what you're supposed to have all those staffers for....

EXACTLY! I don't expect them to know everything. I DO expect them to do their homework!

"I don't understand" guy gripes after being cut off for exceeding time ... "y'all need to speak English"

Sorry for the lack of adequate point-by-point (I'm not as good at this as RPB is with campus carry )

Neither of these morons understands this bill .... it's NOT ABOUT PREMISES, IT'S ABOUT PARKING LOTS

oh man, "I don't understand ..." guy is back ... who is this guy? He probably doesn't understand where the men's room is.

I like this guy. Smart. Clarifying a lot of the liability language. Makes a lot of sense from my layman's perspective - he obviously has a legal background.

oops ... spoke too soon, now he wants to eliminate ALL LIABILTY on part of employer ... that's ridiculous.

They defined gross negligence earlier by example of "Employee A calls and tells employer he's going to bring gun to work to kill Employee B and employer does nothing" ... I think a company SHOULD be liable if they have this kind of actual knowledge of imminnent threat. This guy now wants to say they have no liability even in this case.

motion to table the "save the children" amendment prevails

Kleinschmidt moves to table the "save the children" amendment as it restricts CHL more than current law, which allows guns in parking lots of schools across the state

"not the proper place to take a weapon"

"safety of our children"

"if a gun is in the parking lot it could be drawn and fired in the facility"

"I still don't understand why we go beyond concealed weapons"

BECAUSE OF PENAL CODE 46.02 -- GO READ PENAL CODE 46.02 and you'll be confused to learn that ANYONE legally possessing a gun in Texas can possess it in their car
