    Looks like Wednesday is going to be a long, long day but help testifying on Monday is also needed.
    Show up, Stand up, Speak up!

    Monday April 15:

    8:00 AM
    Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence
    HB 1126 - Clarifies that businesses or property owners cannot be held liable solely because they allow concealed carry by LTC holders.

    2:00 PM or after adjournment
    Criminal Jurisprudence
    HB 1445 - Amends the current prohibition of licenseholders carrying handguns while intoxicated. Expands it to include long guns, limits it to only guns carried in public places, and states that it does not apply to law enforcement or special investigators even while they are off duty. If the intent was public safety, the best course of action would be to repeal 46.035 (d), removing the prohibition on regular gun carry by non-intoxicated people in 51% places.

    Wednesday April 17:

    8:00 AM
    Homeland Security
    HB 257 - Relating to a policy requiring public and private primary and secondary schools and public junior colleges to provide local law enforcement agencies certain information regarding certain individuals authorized to carry a handgun on a campus.

    HB-1713 - Relating to requiring a person convicted of an offense involving family violence or a felony or a person who is the subject of a protective order to surrender firearms owned by the person.

    HB 1791 - Relating to the carrying of handguns by license holders on property owned or leased by a governmental entity.

    HB 2949 - Relating to a license to carry a handgun for a person who is at increased risk of becoming a victim of violence.

    HB 4428 - Relating to the application and eligibility for and expiration of a license to carry a handgun.

    If you can make it down to Austin, we could use your help here. The Homeland Security & Public Safety committee adjourned the morning session but should be kicking off the afternoon portion of the fun any time now.
