Yes, but that does not seem to be the law he was referring to by this statementfiftycal wrote:The bill I think you are looking for is HB 1815. It reads;
SECTION 1.  Section 46.02, Penal Code, is amended by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsections (a-1) and (a-2) to read as follows:
(a)Â Â A person commits an offense if the person [he] intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:
(1)Â Â on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or
(2)Â Â inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control.
(a-1)Â Â A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun in a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control at any time in which:
(1)Â Â the handgun is in plain view; or
(2)Â Â the person is:
(A)Â Â engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic;
(B)Â Â prohibited by law from possessing a firearm; or
(C)Â Â a member of a criminal street gang, as defined by Section 71.01.
(a-2)Â Â For purposes of this section, "premises" includes real property and a recreational vehicle that is being used as living quarters, regardless of whether that use is temporary or permanent. In this subsection, "recreational vehicle" means a motor vehicle primarily designed as temporary living quarters or a vehicle that contains temporary living quarters and is designed to be towed by a motor vehicle. The term includes a travel trailer, camping trailer, truck camper, motor home, and horse trailer with living quarters.
What bill has a law which replaces 46.03?frizzen wrote:Also, effective sept 1 the general prohibition against guns on school premises will be replaced with a new law that defines prohibited behaviors rather than possesion.
So just toss around some empty (used) shell casings in the back of someone's pickup. I had a friend that worked for the local ISD "alternative education" center (for students who hadn't yet messed up enough to be behind bars), and a K-9 alerted on his truck because of some shotgun shell casings in the bed of his pickup from a skeet shoot the previous weekend. I do not know what would have happened if it had been a firearm and/or live ammo, because there was none present (though the teacher was a CHL holder).John R.

If this is smokeless powder remember that it burns faster and just may cause just enough of a spark if ignited on hot pavement to set off the fumes from a leaky gas tank.
I am not gauranteeing those types of results, but common sense tells me that smokeless powder loose outside a casing or its container is not something to play with.
I disagree.John R. Fuller wrote: . . . If this is smokeless powder remember that it burns faster and just may cause just enough of a spark if ignited on hot pavement to set off the fumes from a leaky gas tank.
Having had the same vehicle broken into twice while parked at school, I would certainly second this suggestion. (Fortunately, no firearms were stolen either time.)stevie_d_64 wrote: I would certainly stress that anyone who works for, or has dealings that takes them to schools, that they get a supplementary securing device inside your vehicle to further demonstrate your intent to prevent "easy" access to any firearm you use for lawful purposes during your time other than at these schools or other restricted facilities where you park your vehicle...
now that would be a sticky report to file with local LEO...ProudToCarry wrote:stevie_d_64 wrote: Having had the same vehicle broken into twice while parked at school, I would certainly second this suggestion. (Fortunately, no firearms were stolen either time.)

While I don't have any handy, most people wouldn't have a hard time finding a friend, co worker or relative to provide a supply. Lets just say everyone should do their own part on the war on drugs.Molon_labe wrote:

I suppose it depends on the circumstances, the town and the school district. This is Texas, not New Jersey. Its not likely to grab any headlines around here. The last time an incident like this happened that I remember involved a student with ammo in his car. The student had been out hunting. but got caught up on zero tolerance. For the most part the media was pretty sympathetic.Molon_labe wrote: You have to weigh your options..and unfortunately the anti's and media would have a feeding frenzy if you as a teacher got busted with a firearm in your car....oooooh boy I could just see the headlines now!
