Rodriquez is proposing an amendment stating that if you are denied a CHL in Texas, you can't go get one in another state, then come back and use that to CCW in Texas. Estes agrees there's a question, but wants it to be a separate bill. Rodriquez wants it added onto hb910.

I want to strike the word "commonsense" from the English language.
It's become a "trigger word" for me.

Me too, I actually groaned when I heard him say it.

Amazing how disrespectful Democrats are of the legislature in wasting time with the same amendments that were already considered on SB17.

I am happy to see them pulling them down and withdrawing them without debate if Estes says no... It helps move things along faster (granted they know they won't pass) but I am glad to see that

So LEO is supposed to spot a miniature license on the holster from 50 feet away? And from that distance determine if it's a valid license or a fake? In a hectic shooting situation? Do these Democrats even know how to spell "logic"?

Cripes. Does anybody know how MANY amendments are in the stack?
I'm kinda surprised they're ALLOWED to propose amendments that have already been proposed, discussed and voted on.

Opposition is merely offering he EXACT SAME AMENDMENTS when SB17 was floor debated. There were 22 amendments introduced back on 03/16/2015.
IMO, the opposition is raising these amendments AGAIN(knowing that every amendment will be tabled), just to save face & say " well, we tried "

I like how the Secretary is calling the role from memory. I think she's done it a few times previously.

Reinstate the Dutton Amendment!!!
Then the House would not have to confirm the bill.. it would go directly to the Governor.!!!
I vote YEA

Why would Estes not want this if it makes for easy passage? Only reason I can see is maybe Abbot has says he would not sign it?
