Great info and summary Jumping Frog, that's exactly the kind of reply I was looking for. Without living in a state or visiting it regularly it can be difficult to know how some of the laws are interpreted and enforced. Obviously I want to always follow the law but you darn near have to be a lawyer a...

I'm not one for leaving Texas much but I will be visiting family in Ohio next month. I know we now have reciprocity with Ohio and after reading the Ohio CCW handbook I have a fair understanding of the differences in law. The biggest difference appears to be signage, in that any gunbuster sign on the...

Seems like they'd have to give verbal warning or post signs. Anyone carrying open will become a target and get a verbal notice fairly quick I imagine, whereas if you keep it concealed while your on the property they won't know to post signs or create anti gun policies. Do as you will, but unless the...

In regards to Grisham's statement about Charles Cotton "fighting OCT since day 1" I would like to point out that Grisham/OCT takes the position that if you do not agree with them and try to convince them to try your course of action that you are fighting them. I personally arranged for Gr...

Damn sneaky politicians, I've had this site and live house/senate feed running at my desk at work for weeks and they pass it while I'm home with the family sure nothing is gonna happen tonight.

Congrats Texas!!!!!!!
Thank you Chas!!!!!!!!
Thank you Senators and Reps!!!!

There's lots of head shaking to go around, but, IMO the single biggest facepalm goes to Senator Huffines for failing to Amend HB 910 to be EXACTLY, word-for-word, punctuation-for-punctuation, the same as the version received from the House. Major fail. Hopefully it can still be salvaged. I've read ...

Cripes. 46 pages. Gimme a minnit.............

Page 43 sums it up

Report is posted and the amendment has been stripped.

Per the report, near the bottom. No equivalent provision is referring to the Hamilton and Dutton amendments from the house and senate versions. SECTIONS 1 -28. Same as House version. No equivalent provision. [The conference committee may have exceeded the limitations imposed on its jurisdiction, but...

Senate has just appointed conferees to the 910 committee

And SB 11 has been sent to committee too

Sen. Whitmire, in his dressing down of Sen. Huffines, mentioned that Philedelphia had different laws regarding open carry than the rest of PA. What he (naturally) forgot to mention is the higher crime rate: http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/pa/philadelphia/crime/ It's things like this that our side ...

Sent my rep a thank you for voting in favor.

I feel let down by our reps, and I don't even know what to think of these political LEOs who think the 4th amendment should be as conditional and selective as the 2nd has been made. If the Bill of Rights were proposed today, it wouldn't pass . Democrats and Republicans would vote against. So embarr...

Are y'all as mad as I am over this? I mean, the supposed 2A loving majority controlled house and senate couldn't get this done. I will refrain from saying more for a bit so as not to get booted by Charles. My time, money, and voting will be applied differently from here on out though. Am I wrong fo...

Well this has been.....educational......
