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.

........ within our State. More than ever.

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.

• Clarify that caterers should not post 51% signs;
  
  Clarify that local governments can't get away with excluding weapons from areas they consider private. The City of San Antonio has used that to exclude weapons everywhere except the lobbies of city buildings;
  
  Clarify that you can carry a legal knife or other weapon wherever you can carry a gun.

• Knives with utility purposes are legal to carry.
  
  Knives that can be used as weapons are legal to carry as long as you do not have intent to harm others.
  
  It is illegal to recklessly use a knife that was designed to be a weapon.
  
  It is illegal to carry a knife that was designed to be a weapon (and not a tool) with the intent to harm others.
