Campus Carry Advocates:

As you’ve likely already heard, campus carry was passed out of the Texas Senate today (http://fb.me/WJdCVuxp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) as an amendment to SB 1581, a higher education finance bill. That’s very good news, but this fight is far from over. This is what we need our supporters to do ASAP:

1. Call YOUR State Representative (http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), and encourage him/her to support the campus personal protection provisions of SB 1581/HB 3639.

2. Call, fax, and email Representative Jim Pitts, author of HB 3639 and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and encourage him to support the campus personal protection provisions of SB 1581/HB 3639.

Representative Jim Pitts
Phone: (512) 463-0516
Fax: (512) 463-1051 (use FaxZero.com to send two free faxes per day, from your web browser)
jim.pitts@house.state.tx.us

As always, if you’re currently affiliated with a college or university, be sure to mention the college and your affiliation (i.e., "I’m a student at Texas Tech,” “I teach at Texas A&M,” “I’m employed by the University of Texas,” “I have a daughter at the University of North Texas,” etc). And when faxing or emailing, be sure to include your name, phone number, and mailing address.

This really is the final push, so let’s give it everything we have. Thanks for all your help!

Sincerely,

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus

P.S. - Please pass this along! If we want this legislation to pass, we need to get EVERYONE calling in! So please pass this along if you're in College Republicans, Young Conservatives, Etc. Parents should even call in!

Done and Done. Rep. Parker is a strong 2A supporter and I don't see any problem with him. I keep reminding him of the growth in CHLs in Denton County and the impact of campus carry at UNT.
