This was scheduled and may have been reached earlier today
HB 873
Text http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/ ... 00873I.htm
(Pickett, D, B-) Relating to prohibiting certain establishments serving the public from restricting a peace officer or special investigator from carrying a weapon on the premises.
Impact: Prohibits most private property owners from prohibiting peace officers from carrying handgun on business property, regardless whether they are on duty or off duty.
Position on Bill: Oppose.
Status: 01/09/2017; referred to Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee 2/23/17.
Comments: This is yet another elitist bill because it applies to peace officers even when they are off-duty. TFC supports this concept, but only if it applies both to peace officers and LTCs.
