Re: Governor Abbott Signs Ten Pro-Second Amendment Bills into Law
House Bill 1177 by Rep. Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) & Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) protects citizens from being charged with a crime for carrying a handgun without a License To Carry while evacuating from an area during a declared state or local disaster, or while returning to that area, and allows shelters which are otherwise prohibited locations to decide whether to accommodate evacuees with firearms in their possession.
And
Senate Bill 772 by Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) & Rep. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) provides civil liability protection to business establishments which choose not to post 30.06/30.07 signs, making them less vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits and giving them an incentive to adopt permissive policies for the carrying of handguns by law-abiding citizens on their premises.
I like those two!!

So the state can limit liability if businesses don’t post. How about making businesses that post liable? Maybe next session.

Isn't there a lawsuit emerging from this?

Maybe we'll have to wait and see how this shakes out.

and HB 446 was signed by the Governor. That one surprised me just to see it filed, the knuckles bill.

So what is the outcome of House Bill 1791? Will it have any real impact on the local government and associated groups hanging signs?

Re: Governor Abbott Signs Ten Pro-Second Amendment Bills into Law
The bill's a good thing, but I doubt it will reach signs such as those universally posted by the City of San Antonio. Paraphrasing, they say carrying is banned unless otherwise authorized by law. That leaves you to figure out what the city might be doing in this place that could cause an exception to apply.
Keeping the citizenry in doubt about their rights is a feature, not a bug, of San Antonio's governing philosophy.

Charles,
I'm looking forward to your 'country boy interpretation' of these bills for those of us with limited legal knowledge.
I know you've got your hands full with other 2A issues at this time, so I'm OK with waiting until you're ready to share your wisdom.

Re: Governor Abbott Signs Ten Pro-Second Amendment Bills into Law
Those who would seize our rights are tenacious at all levels. Somehow, we have to figure out how to break the stranglehold that they have on our largest cities.KLB wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 9:59 amThe bill's a good thing, but I doubt it will reach signs such as those universally posted by the City of San Antonio.
