I haven't read the actual ruling but I wonder how it is reasoned that a retailer is responsible for the failure of the Air Force to report him to NICS. They sold a legal product that was not defective. Academy should be exempt from this lawsuit.

That wont' last. It violates both Texas and federal law.

I saw AG Ken Paxton in an interview with Laura Ingraham say that it is confusing the way it is worded and too many people think they cannot carry in a church. I had to do a double take because at first I thought he said it was prohibited. He got a chance to expand and state if notice is given then it is prohibited, but the way the statue is worded needs to be addressed. I'm paraphrasing him, but good that the AG of the state recognizes that it is confusing to people.

Edited: Found interview on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC36id1t2T8 Paxton's part starts at 5:05 mark and then starts explanation at 6:10 about needing to make it more clear.

TPC §46.035(i) was created in 1997 as part of HB2909. We had to do it that way to achieve the goal. People constantly ask why we didn't just repeal the prohibition on churches, hospitals, etc. The simple answer is we didn't have the votes. The prohibition on carrying in churches, hospitals, etc. was necessary to pass SB60 in 1995 in order to create concealed carry. It was not politically feasible to delete those locations from the off-limits list only two years later. Heck, look how long I've been pushing to repeal all off-limits areas!

There is nothing confusing about §46.03(i); people simply quit reading too soon. Read together, it is absolutely clear that churches,etc. are not off-limits unless they receive notice pursuant to TPC §30.06. If LTCs are not aware of this fact, then their LTC Instructor let them down in a very big way.

If this is accurate, the good guy did a lot more than was initially reported. This version of the facts is markedly different from what has been reported earlier.

I must admit that I have not had time to read every post in this thread. I apologize if this post duplicates another.

Here is a link to an update on the shooting. I think I heard it said that another update will be given at 7:00PM.
