This is a tired rehash of the anti-CHL arguments from the '90. You know, that place where the liberals STILL live.
True, but it's the first time I've seen an anti-gun advocate admit that bad guys will still have guns and they want it that way. LOL. Awkward statement at best.

House to Take Up Campus Carry Ahead of Key Deadline

by Morgan Smith May 26, 2015
They better get to it early, to prevent any possible shenanigans on the House floor.
It's not eligible to be heard until 2:40pm. I suppose they could suspend the rules but that seems unlikely to me.
I was referring to SB11, this is the last day it can be heard in the House.
But yeah.....HB910 not until at least 2:40pm today. I'm sure SB11 will take up a lot of time.
My apologies. There's so much going on, I'm going to have to pay better attention.

I think the most important change is the reduction of penalty to 30:06 don't forget that.
Did that make it into 910 or is it on its own bill? For some reason I thought that hadn't made it yet. I've been a bit overwhelmed by the legislature for the last few days...
Yes, it's in. It's a house amendment to 910 as presented to Senate.
