Now that the dust has settled a bit, I've begun thinking ahead to 2017. Without a doubt, HB 308 presented the greatest leap forward for gun rights in TX, of any gun Bill introduced in 2015. Will this Bill be revived for 2017?

In considering an HB 308-like Bill for 2017, we might also consider possibly dividing this leap into smaller steps.

If the 2017 legislative pulse still doesn't favor the full version of HB 308 (applicable to all CHL's), would an "Enhanced Permit" similar to Mississippi be a useful step in a good direction?

Absolutely, but you know lawmakers won't see it that way. They're going to think every 51% location (which is not just bars) will turn into O.K. Corral the day the legislation take effect.

I, however, would like to carry when I'm the DD, or if I'm going to a comedy or band show that's at a 51% location.
