Re: Speaker Bonnen's betrayal of Texas gun-owners

I called Bonnens office also. Was asked if I had worked with the bills author to get it out. what the heck can he do to get it out of committee? Told the lady no but bonnen could pressure pancho to pass it out. He has control over it. Gonna call again tomorrow and reiterate the same thing.

This is the bill that clarifies the school activity law that the Houston, Galveston County, and Brazoria County fair and rodeos have been hiding behind to post illegal 30.06 signs. Over the last couple years I have filed several complaints on these, but still see illegal 30.06 signs at the Houston Rodeo. The year before last Mark Henry actually contacted me concerning the Galveston County rodeo and had the signs removed without me having to file a complaint with the attorney general’s office. I’ve been on a crusade on this for the last few years so this bill is important to me.

I noticed that this bill is already moving. It has been read and referred to State Affairs. This is actually encouraging to me. Although I live in Bonnen’s district, I really haven’t thought much about him. He has always supported things that were important to me.

Perhaps we are overreacting. I don’t know. We will have to see how this session unfolds. If SB117 passes, I will consider it a huge success for our 2A rights. I’m growing weary of filing complaints that aren’t being addressed because of a loophole in the law that this bill should fix.
Same with the San Antonio rodeo. This year I noticed they were randomly wanding people coming in. I’m willing to bet if this passes they’ll just not post but still deny entry if you set off a wand or the detector. How does one remedy that? It’s happening now at concerts and other venues with no clear remedy in sight. Disarm and enter or stay out and be irritated. Gonna probably take someone with money to file suit to get these incidences to stop. If you get them afraid of being sued and loosing thousands if not millions every time they violate someone’s rights maybe things will change. For now I’m just not that confident it will.
