Chas.
I can't wait to hear the reason once the session is over. If you're willing (or able) to explain it to us.
John Woods needed a breath mint and the House wanted to keep him over in the Senate. :lol:

Kidding, I'll never get close enough to find out though ... :roll:

After it's all over, I may call Zaffrini and thank her for helping us to get a better bill through than SB 354 would have been.

She played her part well so that the Brady/Woods group will give her a sympathetic pat on the back, still vote for her, even though she helped us a lot. :rolll

All I could think while Zaffirini gave her "I was there" speech to Wentworth was, "Can you imagine that woman as a mother-in-law?" :eek6

That's a great idea! The icing on the cake is voting one of "us" in means voting one of "them" out.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

Just remember, any pro-gun legislation should not be trounced as long as the final result does not negatively impact one of the rights we have today. If you think about it, if this change gets made, how hard would it be to change the wording to just include all CHL's at a future time?
I say it never will...

BTW, I'm an "elected official" does this mean I am automatically encluded in this perk??? What is the definition of an "elected official"???

I was voted into office on a popular vote by citizens in my district (precinct)...I was not appointed, or given some sort of honorable position by declaration...So, in a sense, I have become an elitists by this soon to be signed bill into law...

You know...I know Dan Patrick personally, sure he is a high profile "elected official" with a radio show to boot...He touts conservative principles and all that and got himself elected on that bandwagon...Personally I could say things abouthim that would violate the rules of this forum, but I don't need to...The most I could say is that I think he is a ninny...

Ask me where I would fall if I was in on that vote??? Most people who know me, would already know the answer to that...

I am not impressed one bit by this move, and to watch Wentworth have to jump thru hoops to get his bill even attached to another bill just reeks of RiNO hypocracy!!! Not against Wentworth for his yoeman attempts and success...His bill I would have supported on its own merits!!! This bill....hehehe, not a chance!!!

Every elected official in this state has the opportunity to get their Texas CHL if they so desire...They are NO better than the constituency in this state, and they deserve no special consideration or exemption(s)...This bill was a bad bill from the get go...And I am appalled at some folks here (who are still my friends) who are supporting this bill (law) in hopes that this can be somehow used by our side to garner some sort of similar considerations...I'm sorry guys and gals, this is not going to happen...Not this easy...

I hope Governor Perry vetos this bill...And lets start over friends...This is NOT the path to take on this journey...

This is my opinion...I cannot compramise my principles on this...It is not how Steve rolls...

:iagree:

Steve, Excellent words. Well Said.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The sad part is that they wrote it that way.
JUST CHANGE A FEW WORDS SO ALL CHLERS ARE INCLUDED AND EVERYONE WINS!!!

------NOW, THIS Sept 1, 2011.----

---If they wanted to, it could be changed, most likely, even now! IF they wanted too!---

Don't see any way that this is not a direct slap in the face to the CHLers.

as far as useful later-----LEOSA comes to mind.

I hope and pray GOV Perry flushes it

“This bill is really about logistics,” Patrick said earlier, when the bill was approved by a Senate committee. “We go from one place to another ... and we may be faced with either leaving (guns) in the car or taking them inside and violating the law.

“This bill is just to solve that problem.”
How about solving that problem for the rest of us while you're at it?

“Today, I voted against the Committee Substitute to Senate Bill 905. As a strong proponent of Second Amendment rights, I could not in good conscience grant myself a privilege that I had failed to first grant law-abiding citizens. Concealed handgun license holders are allowed to carry almost everywhere they go. In my judgment, if we are going to expand when and where Texans can legally carry a concealed firearm, we should start with our citizens — not our lawmakers.”

This man is a representative of the people. The others maybe not so much. Any politician who thinks they should be able to carry everywhere because its inconvenient to place their gun in their car shouldnt just change the law for themselves.
I live in Senator Birdwell's district, and he is someone I have really come to respect. He has been an strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment---arguably the strongest in the legislature---and is voting conservatively. Hopefully other legislators will take note.

Did the legislature pass all three? That's great news! Has Perry signed them yet?
