I'm told there are now 75 people signed up to testify on Stickland's bill, 47 on White's. Testimony is 2 minutes per person. #txlege

IN PROGRESS NOW >> Afternoon VIDEO FEED http://tlchouse.granicus.com/MediaPlaye ... nt_id=2849

Large group of Moms Demand showed up in red shirts.

So far 35 people are signed up to testify on Stickland's bill and 22 for White's.

People can sign up to testify at any point while the bill is up

Hearing on bills (they'll be put up separately) starts after full House lets out, possibly 1:00 or 3:00 it should start and go on until everyone is heard, could be a late night in Homeland Security

The House committee unanimously passed the companion bill to Senate bill 16, lowing fee for handgun license from $140 to $40
Committee approves House version of bill that would reduce fees for a license to carry, 8-0
Committee approves bill unanimously, sending it to full House. Here's info on Senate version https://t.co/JZUdT385hq

But I don't always get my way...

OOOOHHHHH I love that as a Committee Substitute ... a little crossing out here, add some language there ...

Namecheap screwed up the domain forwarding. It's fixed now and should just forward to the texas3006 site.

They have a nice slider to "Disable Parking Page" that does absolutely nothing. Their response: "We are aware of it and are working on fixing it."

Works great now

We're getting ready for the inevitable flood of new signage if this bill passes when the news organizations report impending blood in the streets.

I was going to do this in a PM, but no way to attach
I'm getting a Comodo warning at 3008 I don't get at 3006

Federal #GFSZA
The Federal Gun Free School Zone Acts exempts (or excepts?) "Does Not Apply To" those licensed by the State where the School Zone is Located.

Quoted in part:
18 U.S.C. § 922(q)(2) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922
(2)
(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;[/b]
(iii) that is—
(I) not loaded; and
(II) in a locked container, or a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle;

Anyone venturing to pick up/drop off kids after/before school in their car in the parking lot or "drive thru drop-off", the LTC still benefits too (Not just reciprocity benefit)

So Federal Government itself already established a difference in Licensees versus Constitutional Carry .. There's Precedent for "A Difference" License conveys more "abilities" whether you want to call them rights or privileges once had but lost, their abilities to do a thing within the law.

We simply cannot allow any "constitutional carry" bill to pass if it applies 30.06 and 30.07 to both licensed and unlicensed carry.
