His bill means that those that have out of state CHL will not be able to carry in bldgs. on campus. I was saddened to hear this as I have a Utah CHL. I know there are those that say people get Utah to 'skirt' the laws of Texas. I will be nice here and just say, 'Don't comment about me if you don't know.' MANY in Texas are getting Utah and Fla. CHL. So, we're not just talking those with Utah licenses.
It's sad that when I go to class, I won't be able to protect myself and my classmates due to the wording in the new bill. If I'm the only CHL holder in my class and Johnnie Stupid with a gun comes in, many of us are dead, just reality. If it were worded so that reciprocity could take place, then there would be less dead in my opinion. And it's not that I'm a immature kid wanting to take a gun to class. Texas native, veteran, and in late 40's, been hunting/shooting all my life. I'm for the 2nd Amendment and believe all of us that aren't felons and meet the regulations should be able to carry. Just more control and less protection for the most part.
This is more fallout from the problem 3 Utah Instructors created. Had Utah changed their law months ago, then we may have been able to avoid this Texas-only provision. However, without it campus-carry won't pass.greggtex wrote:I spoke with Rep. Driver's office this week. The lady there told me they were going thru with his bill.

For every action there is an equal reaction. Those who touted the Utah CHL as a way to get around Texas CHL or a way to save money are now bearing the fruit of their insensitivity.greggtex wrote:I spoke with Rep. Driver's office this week.

Just a thought, I always carry at least two guns, ... sit close, I could pass you one if a problem arises in class I think "necessity" covers it in the Penal code.
Seriously there's a retired LEO CHL in my church I carry a spare for until he loses weight.
Those who made the Texas CHL cost twice what other states cost are now seeing the predictable results.baldeagle wrote:For every action there is an equal reaction.
