If anyone happens to be watching the Senate right now, I just turned it on trying to track down a bill I was interested in. I was tracking HB 242 which changes the definition of retired peace officers specifically to allow them to carry guns. It was originally passed on the local and uncontested ca...

I get that; it's just silly. As was pointed out it just eats up time each day.

Postponed. Lame.

I must've missed that.

My apologies.

As it currently stands, campus carry will only apply to public institutions of higher education. Private schools could still ban guns. Is there a place where we can read the "engrossed" version of SB 1581? Not yet. Within the next few days, it should show up here under the section "A...

Did the opposite. All representatives called.

The lady answering Ogden's phone said, "Oh yes, we got your fax."

As written, no. The bill explicitly prohibits an institution of higher education from adopting such rules. However, they will be able to regulate and make provisions for how guns are stored in dorms. Easy solution: live off campus.

Done. I'm on record with Representative Brown as being for campus carry. His representative informed me that he is an author on HB 750--which I already knew--and was pleased to hear of my affiliation with an university in his district and took my name and phone number. Hopefully that is good news. :...

Can one of you all please explain how Zaff's bill opened the door for Wentworth? I don't fully understand what her bill was all about. The way I understand it: because it was previously established that SB354 was germane to SB 5, Zaffirini's bill that she killed, once she added SB 5 as an amendment...

Outrageous.

If I did something similar, I'd be fired immediately.

I agree that the article isn't too horrible--which is a stark change from what The Batt usually puts out. My main issue is the graphic. Really? Could they have drawn a more biased graphic? http://www.thebatt.com/polopoly_fs/1.2216915!/image/4084305472.jpg On that note, I encourage you to voice your ...

I'm in Sen. Ogden's district. Have voted for him in the past. It no longer matters to me what his lame excuses are. Doesn't even matter (for purposes of my opinion of Sen. Ogden) whether SB 354 passes or not. IF SENATOR OGDEN IS NOT LISTED AS A YES VOTE ON SB 354, THEN HE WILL NOT SEE A YES VOTE FO...

I haven't stocked up because I wanted to see what rifle I got and what it liked to shhot most, and stock up on that. I'll be buying some .223 and 5.56 now for the first range session. Then it's stockpile/hoarding time!!! :hurry: Sounds like a good plan. I meant it more because of the upcoming May 1...

Good choice there.

Now if you don't already have it, stock up on ammo and shoot, shoot, shoot.
