Steveincowtown, you're right. The purpose of this is a civilized discourse. I do apologize for my tone but I despise hypocrisy. I will not however rescind anything. The information I received is from the horses mouth. No doubt in my mind as to its validity. You all are, of course, entitled to your opinions.

Had HB 2756 been left as originally drafted there would be no concern about 30.06. It was drafted as constitutional carry with no mention of 30.06 but certain "individuals" got their hands on it in League and changed it to licensed OC. Either way, this preoccupation with extra 30.06 signs is as silly as the blood in the streets talk 15 years ago when CHL got started. Think critically and stop believing everything you're fed.

This has nothing do with what I have been “fed” but what I have actual “read’ in the bill.

I am for OC, and beyond that I am for Constituional Carry. I wish someone with the minds (and lawyers) that the TSRA and the NRA would have worked out a bill before Rep. Lavender's bill came about. It surely would have been better written with fewer chances for confusion.

TSRA MEMBERS have been asking for OC support for years. Their response was that they would not push OC until the members wanted it.

When asked "how do you poll the members to see what they want?" they responded with "there us no official polling method."

So then, I ask, how do they have any clue what Texans want?

And... Contrary to popular belief HB 2756 was indeed drafted as a simple constitutional OC bill with NO mention of amending 30.06. I have personally spoken face to face with the author of the bill and representative Lavender and they have told me that it was fooled with in League Committee by "people" that may or may not be associated w TSRA, to hurt it's chances of passage.

Drink the Koolaid if you like but some of us know the truth.
