How should SB905 proceed?

[stevie_d_64]

Whatever happens, some of us have made our positions very clear...Our support is still steadfast behind those who have proven their metal in times like these...

Monday might be a very busy day for everyone...And I am more than dissapointed in Dan Patrick for forcing such a devisive bill like this onto our community...And for what it is worth, I do not think this was the way to have to go about it, even if it turns out the way most of us are thinking...

Question: Should this bill give Senator Patrick a better rating from the NRA???

Just shootin' from the hip...

All the same, I'm inclined to trust what Charles says.

also. One of the things we need to do is trust those that are lobbying for our rights (Alice, Charles, etc.). They DO have best interest in mind. They also have YEARS of experience at working with bill and legislators under their belt. While we may all want it now, and that might be great, reality is it ain't gonna happen. And, I can tell you from personal experience, that until you have been in their shoes and tried to work lobbying the state and federal politicians, you have NO clue what they have to deal with and how much you have to tap dance to get some of these folks to pay attention and decide you have the best show in town. So, let's stand behind them and their decisions on what can get through, what makes sense to try and help us get the most we can this session, and what will prime the legislators for future sessions.

Even though I voted on this poll for all CHL's, I too trust Charles and sent my Rep Bill Zedler an email asking him to support the amendment to SB 905 when it is presented. As I stated in another post this has left a bad taste in my mouth because this goes against my principles, but I have faith in Charles that the end game will be having all CHL's covered.

I did the same and feel the same way

Here is the galling thing:

“This bill is really about logistics,” Patrick said earlier, when the bill was approved by a Senate committee. “We go from one place to another — maybe five or six places in one evening for functions and events — and we may be faced with either leaving (guns) in the car or taking them inside and violating the law.
“This bill is just to solve that problem.”

....as if regular citizens who hold CHLs didn't themselves face exactly these logistical issues.

Yeah, I want to see Patrick follow a typical parent around to take kids to school, go to work where guns are banned, go back to school for teacher conference, pick kids ups, go to practices or games to watch the kids, take a hurt kid to the hospital posted 30.06, then pick the other kid up from the coaches office (inside "premises", no carry) because the coach was nice enough to watch the kid while you were at the ER....

Yeah, then let Patrick whine about his schedule.
