I'd support 46.035 being repealed, even if we couldn't get courthouses, racetracks, and polling places, leaving those for another session.srothstein wrote:I fully support Charles statement and the removal of all off-limits areas. But I honestly do not think that will happen. I will be very happy to see 46.035 repealed this year. I would like to see 46.15 modified as well to see LTCs exempted like peace officers, but I don't see it happening this session. We should be able to get it through within a few years though.
I also do not see too many changes in 30.06/07 getting through this year. I would not argue with a few there, but I really do not see it happening.
If we can just get 46.035 repealed this session with no steps backwards in other areas, I count it as a winning year.
I don't know the likelihood of getting one or both, but even just getting 46.035 would greatly improve 2nd Amendment rights for the majority of LTC holders. Dallas & FW Zoo arguments about being a theme park or educational institution would be moot. People would be able to see a show at a 51% location downtown on a weekend night without forfeiting their right of self-preservation, and we could get rid of the unnecessary double enforcement of hospitals and religious places.
