Yeah, they snuck them out in front of press, and on video. Remind me not to have them plan my surprise party.

Glad something will pass.

Woods would "feel like a victim" if he was handed $100 bill

(Must be a conspiracy against me to force me to pay more taxes or cause my "tax free income organization" to get audited)
He probably thinks Texas set up a bicameral government long ago as a conspiracy just so John would be distracted over at the Senate and the House could get work done in front of cameras and the world. How sneaky!!!

It was pro-guns day at the House Committees today

[Ameer]

Now they get to sit in the calendar commiesty with all the other pro-gun bills.

[Monker10]

Very good news indeed

Is there any danger that they will sit in calendars while the legislative session comes to a close.

[jmoney]

so did they manage to get this tacked on/passed?

I've been watching Senate instead of House today, but have to leave in a minute...

nothing much occurred yet but budget stuff in Senate.

The session ends in a month. Other pro-RKBA bills have been in calendars for more than a month and are still sitting there. You do the math.

If the most favorable campus-carry bills can't get pushed through, I hope we can at least get HB2178 through and decriminalize the matter. I'll risk being caught at school if the most that can happen is school trouble- not felony though.

Ditto here--I'm very good at concealing.

I don't like the language on HB1356. It only authorizes CHL holders that work at the university, not students or visitors.


(B)the person:
(i)possesses or goes on the premises of an
institution of higher education or private or independent
institution of higher education, or on any grounds or building on

with a concealed handgun that the person is licensed to carry
pursuant to a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411,
Government Code; and
(ii)is a faculty member, staff member, or

Yeah .... Some schools "POLLS" and in Tennessee they are saying faculty and staff are ok, students no.

Guns on Campus
Proposed law could allow some faculty members to carry concealed weapons on campus

Personal note:
"CWS"
When I returned to college at age 26, I did "CWS" (College Work Study) yeah, low wage, but say you work in Audio Visual Dept or Bookstore a couple hours a week ... you get
1)Staff Parking sticker and privileges
2) Use of Faculty/Staff break rooms and restrooms (yes, softer toilet paper)
3) You get more respect and better grades from the professors, as you are "one of them"
4) You are then "Faculty or Staff" .... and can carry if only this bill passed.
(Also, discounts on supplies/textbooks and first choice of used books if in bookstore, or read teacher's notes on overhead projectors in Audio visual to decide what teachers to get/and get to know teachers)

Heck, I'd pick up trash or even pull weeds a couple hours a week ...

Alternatively, teach a course, like one/two evenings a week.
Example: To teach a Real Estate course in the 1980s, you didn't need teacher certification, didn't even need a degree, but just needed to be a Broker ...
Think "Continuing Education" ... pottery making 101; Welding/Basket Weaving; How to make your garden grow ...
...
Where there's a will ... there's a way.
