Or we could just pass a bill similar to last year's HB308, where an LTC holder can carry anywhere an officer can. Eliminates time and cost to develop and make a program for an "enhanced" LTC, and lessens restrictions for all current LTC holders.

Would not work. Stop dreaming. FBI can enforce Federal Law anywhere on US states and territories. All what state of Texas can do is not cooperate with the Feds.
I'll take that.

Couple the threat to school children with the intellectual dishonesty of local officials thumbing their noses at §411.209/SB273 and we may find a Legislature willing to remove all unnecessary off-limits restrictions.

Chas.

That would be enough of an accomplishment in itself for me. If that passes, I would call the session a success for us.

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities

I'd actually really like to see a bill similar to other states that attempts to void federal gun control and prohibit enforcement of said controls by state agencies.

This may be pie in the sky, but I definitely think that this will be something that we may want to have on the books depending on how the election and subsequent supreme court nominees shake out.

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities

Removal of any area (other than child care/primary/secondary school) from the 'off-limits' list on public college campuses. These are publicly owned institutions, why are they treated any differently than public city owned property that cannot post 30.06/07? Any prohibited areas should be defined in the penal code and not left to become a confusing patchwork of rules and policies differing at each and every campus in the state.

Re: 2017 Legislative Priorities

Anywhere police can carry, second (or third, whatever we're up to). At least steps toward this.
