Read this one and think about it. This would require an instructor that is a CHL or Police Officer, that is NRA certified and a history teacher well versed in the U.S. Constitution with emphasis on the 2nd Amendment.baldeagle wrote:HB 1077 by Rep.

Great idea....baldeagle wrote:HB 1078 by Rep. Tim Kleinschmidt eliminates the criminal penalty against Concealed Handgun Licensees carrying for protection on the premises of an institution of higher education.
Not sure it's very clear as written.
Also, I assume any posted 30.06 would not apply to public schools?
The ignorance of making schools "gun free zones" still takes my breath away.(a) A person commits an offense .......<snip>........ unless:
(B) the person possesses or goes with a concealed
handgun that the person is licensed to carry pursuant to a license
issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, on the
premises of an institution of higher education or private or
independent institution of higher education, on any grounds or
building on which an activity sponsored by the institution is being
conducted, or on a passenger transportation vehicle of the
institution;

Yes. The way it is written the CHL or Police Officer would be responsible for teaching the history of the 2nd Amendment.baldeagle wrote:Is that a problem?MeMelYup wrote:Read this one and think about it.

Re: More pro gun bills introduced
It's good, but it's not enough. It would make campus carry not a crime but would not prevent colleges from adopting a policy against it. In other words, if you got caught carrying, you couldn't be arrested for it, but you could still be expelled. I'd rather have this than nothing, but last year's bill was much better.RoyGBiv wrote:Great idea....baldeagle wrote:HB 1078 by Rep.

If anyone can see a Seecamp (or even several of the 380s I have) in my front pocket (no one sees my Glock 26 there now) I'd be super surprised since those are tiny in comparison. The only time it'd be seen, is if it was needed.
Read Unarmed and Vulnerable" https://www.google.com/search?q=Unarmed ... =firefox-a" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Brandon Wiles wrote it, a student at Virginia Tech, a year BEFORE the massacre, because they had a "policy" against concealed carry, though legal. soooo massacre was foreseeable
Carry was completely legal at Virginia Tech during the massacre, but the school had a no gun policy, so no one did, and they paid millions for failing to protect the students while disallowing self-protection
Rationale: carry legally, be alive but potentially expelled for living/defending yourself in emergency which might also save others or follow school policy go unarmed, even though legal, play possum and die but not get expelled so ghost can graduate with degree and pursue chosen career.
Since a ghost's career wouldn't be real productive, an expulsion is just a minor inconvenience if the education had to continue elsewhere or have a semester or two off prior to returning...alive.
