That is what I was thinking.
No germane issues, definitely a 1 topic bill (CHL)
There's absolutely no way to amend campus-carry to SB905. It's caption is too narrow and campus-carry wouldn't be germane.

If they vote for themselves and against me now, it's my duty as an American to return the favor in November.

:patriot: :txflag:
Are you seriously calling for defeat of the Senators who passed campus-carry, employer parking lots and range protection!?

Good idea. Vote against them. Extra points if you vote for yourself!

:thewave


It would be a little different if they passed campus carry and parking lots in March or April and were now getting around to this. However, the calendar committee is blocking HB750 for almost two months now and the senate has been ignoring SB354 for a long time too. After blocking our civil rights for so long, they turncoat and vote this elitist perk for themselves? It's morally repugnant. I know there are some ethical senators but I live in SD6. :ack:
You're wrong; the Senate hasn't ignored SB354 "for a long time." Unlike most bills, it has been repeatedly put on the Intent Calendar so Sen. Wentworth could bring it up if one of the two Senators who agreed to vote to suspend the rules decided to keep their word. SB354 has consistently had 20 votes for passage. There's reason HB750 hasn't come out of Calendars and it's not an anti-gun reason.

Re: SB 905 passed in Senate

Hang on folks. SB905 doesn't authorize campus-carry; it applies only to:
  • Bars (51% locations) TPC §46.035(b)(1);
    Sporting events (high school, college, interscholastic, or professional) TPC §46.035(b)(2);
    Hospitals and nursing homes TPC §46.035(b)(4);
    Amusement parks TPC §46.035(b)(5);
    Churches TPC §46.035(b)(6);
    Meeting of governmental entities TPC §46.035(c).
There are no amendments to TPC §46.03, nor any exemptions to any of the §46.03 provisions.

This bill might be useful before the session is over. (Then again it may not, but we never squander an opportunity. :thumbs2: )
