HB 1075 (Menendez) would exempt LEO's from Texas trespass laws set out in Penal Code Section 30.05, if the sole basis for their exclusion is the carrying of a firearm or other weapon. This applies to LEO's whether they are on duty or off duty. The bottom line is no property owner, including homeown...

Amen. I hope you keep up with this bill and call Farabee and tell him you support the bill and then call your Rep. and Senator and tell them you support the bill. This is a big problem and it pits the "property rights" conservatives against the gun owners and allows the anti's to sit in th...

[quote="Lindy"]Well, perhaps the "non-violent dispute resolution" part of the course could be replaced by having a lawyer tell you what it was going to cost in legal fees after you shoot someone. That might give some people an incentive to avoid shooting if they could. Have you e...

I was reading some Brady group thing a few days ago and it mentioned that Texas was the only state that required non-violent dispute resolution. [/quote] And I want the "non-violent dispute resolution" part taken out and the class time lowered to 8 hours for a new license. The pseudo-psych...

[quote="Baytown"]fitftycal, I am a cop, and I work in Harris County. As any police officer in Harris County will tell you, there is TX law and then there is Harris County law. The DA would not even take the 46.02 much less the felony stick. The ADA explained that she was not actually in th...

Does it do any good to contact a state senator who is not "your's"? :?: ABSOLUTELY! Call up a Rep./Senator and tell them who you are and why you are calling. If you are calling someone that is your Rep./Sen. it makes a bigger impact, BUT, you call up and ask for the person that knows abou...

[quote="Baytown"]There should be some action to take against those who have handguns(not long guns) in school parking lots that do not hold a permit. I once caught a student in the parking lot of the school I was assigned to and there were no charges that I could file. --------------------...

Chris Harris is a senator from Arlington. He was endorsed by TSRA and "A" rated. Maybe he is just uninformed.

Why don't we all call him and ask for an explanation?

"I'm not seeing anything that leads me to believe (nor have I ever been told) that a Texas CHL makes an "illegal" knife legal ..." Really? What is the charge going to be? Carrying an "illegal" knife legally? DPS agreed that having a CHL and a handgun, does, indeed exemp...

"Why not do away with the photos & card completely? Have the CHL be an endorsement on your DL. " 1. There are some things you can lose your DL over that would not effect the CHL. Too many tickets, no insurance, etc. 2. Now that you have to show your DL to go to the bathroom, having GUN...

Not an "automatic" knife. Check the definition of "illegal knife" in sec 46.01. Basically it's a knife with a blade over 5 1/2/ inches or a double edged blade. And it would be a good idea to conceal it, but I can't find anywhere that it has to be.

I see where HB 225 has already been filed to lengthen the CHL from 4 years to 5. I don't agree with that change because I believe people need a refresher at least every couple of legislative sessions. I would support lowering the cost of the CHL for new and renewal, requiring DPS to take the photos ...

You should check the existing statutes more closely. It is already legal to carry an "illegal" knive or club if you have a CHL and are carrying your handgun. Look at penal code sec. 46.15
