Dear Rep. X. I am a professor and live in College Station. I strongly support HB 750 as a personal insurance/anti-crime law. It is indeed a measure involving personal risk, personal security, and personal liability. As such, you and I should have the choice about whether to get a CHL and carry concealed. I should have the choice, not university administration. The restriction on concealed carry in campus buildings has implications that reach far off campus. It affects me if I want to hike, bike, or ride the bus to campus (i.e., it effectively disarms CHLs en route). It affects me when I drive to campus by legally requiring me to leave my firearm in my car -- much more subject to theft than if it were on my person. The campus restriction effectively forces me to be disarmed when I drive across Texas to conduct educational programs for Texas AgriLife Extension Service. I respectfully ask that you let this proposal have consideration by the full House.
Well said!
As a staff member at Texas A&M I appreciate your voice on this issue!

And got stuck there for the rest of the 82(R) session. Why did the committee kill it?

The reason I think it was never scheduled for a vote was because it would have met the same fate in the Senate as SB354 (still needed a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules).

It's not guaranteed to pass so why try? I don't buy that excuse.

We need to fire the guy who appointed the calendar committee.
