Can you spare 34 seconds for Campus Carry?

Hey guys, I just called the Texas Senate Committee for State Affairs:
Clerk: Cindy Hodges, (512) 463-0380

You have probably heard about Senate Bill 1164 which would legalize CHL carrying on college campuses.

“If it does make it to the Senate floor we also expect it to pass,” said Katie Kasprzack, a spokeswoman for the grass-roots gun group Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. “We’re hearing that the Senate State Affairs (committee) may let the bill die. That’s going to be the biggest hurdle.”

I didn't like the sound of that, so I called the Committee. I simply told the young man who answered the phone I supported S.B. 1164. Took 34 seconds. Would have taken less, but he misheard me:

"S.B. 1154?"
"No, S.B. 1164, CARRYING OF HANDGUNS BY LICENSE HOLDERS ON CERTAIN CAMPUSES"

So please consider using a half minute of your time to let these politicians know we are watching. Thanks!

saspic,

Welcome to the forum.

There are several threads running on pending legislation. Here is a large one on the Campus Carry bill in the house http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 92&t=23948" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think our members are VERY aware of the issue, including some who are directly involved with the lobbying.

Again, welcome and enjoy the forum!
