It was heard in committee on Tuesday 3/22, but the committee hasn't voted yet on the bills they heard that day.

Yes, I'm aware that they swipe Texas CHLs to confirm they are valid and that is not possible with licenses from other states. However, DPS does not have the authority to exclude someone from the Capitol because they are legally carrying on another state's license.

I'd consider the restriction for campus carry to be mildly anti-gun, but it appears to be a necessary concession to get campus carry passed this session and likely will be easy to remove once the hubbub over out-of-state licenses dies down.

I don't know how out-of-state licenses are being handled at the capitol now that there are metal detectors; state law doesn't allow them to exclude people who are carrying on a non-Texas permit.

I beg to differ. Lon Burnam being an anti-gun zealot was the motive for filing HB356. The "Utah problem" was only the excuse.
