I haven't fully absorbed all of this bill because it modifies SO many sections of Texas Law, but it looks like it removes the licensing from the requirement to carry a handgun, makes 30.06/7 apply to all persons carrying a handgun and adds 30.07 to the wrongful exclusion process...

More to read and digest. I look forward to hearing Charles' take on this.
I too have to analyze it in detail, but even skimming it shows it will never pass. It includes too many deal-breaking provisions, opens too many code provisions up to anti-gun amendments and modifies TPC §§30.07 & 30.07 to apply to both licensed and unlicensed carry. The latter alone is enough to kill the bill.

Chas.
Let's be honest, it would help if Stickland would learn how to "play well with others" just a little. He could have the best bill ever and it still wouldn't pass. I'm not saying he needs to bend over backward, I'm not saying he needs to compromise his standards, I'm saying like everything else, if we want something to work we have to work with others, even it our own party, and he has a way of turning off his own party.
