Easy way to keep the pressure up: https://txgunrights.org/take-action/contact-your-lawmakers/
That boggles the mind. I have problems with the whole shopkeepers privilege thing but I was under the impression that it applied ONLY to suspected shoplifting.Had to explain to several security guards they can use force to kicknsomeone out, but they absolutely cannot prevent someone from leaving who is trespassing.
This is real simple... they are using the measure of "Registered Firearms"..... now here in the Great State of Texas, what is registered? NFA items.The dimocraps yesterday kept claiming that only some tiny percent of Texans owned guns. It was like 3.5%. The scum god google says 45.7% of Texans own firearms.
When I was a kid summers in east Texas it seemed like there were guns everywhere. Racks of guns in every room. And no shortage of folks more than willing to teach that poor kid from Californey. Why can't someone stand and call a liar a liar
My Grandpa had 2 or 3 if you count my Mom things he openly disliked Californey and Afgallestan. Pronounced as written. He could never understand how my Dad allowed the GD Air Force to ever send us there, or why my Mom stayed.
Signage. 30.06/07 wording can be more easily changed than creating new signage requirement, so I think a compromise can he reached. Those signs and the 51% sign need to go away, but they won’t anytime soon.
Instant criminals. The good faith exception did not always exist for 30.06/30.07 or 51%. I’ve personally walked into posted places of all three varieties, then later found out I was violating and left when appropriate and have never had an LE interaction. Reality is LE issues the citation and it gets real ugly when a private business owner or their agent detains someone trying to leave the premises while waiting for LE to show up for a trespass violation.

I can believe than only 3.5% of the population owns registered NFA items.
They are blindly looking at numbers about something they have ZERO experience with.
That's their jobGOA is concerned about it making it through the process.
I have to wonder, if this becomes law and if a person is legally eligible under it to carry - how could that same person ever be turned down for a LTC if he (traditional use of the masculine pronoun 'he') wanted one!
From GOA and a list of the amendments...
Constitutional Carry and the Senate: Don’t Celebrate Yet | GOA Texas
You may have heard the news: HB 1927, the Constitutional Carry bill, passed both 2nd Reading and 3rd Reading in the Texas Senate! Although this is exciting to hear, we cannot celebrate yet. The bill author, Rep. Matt Schaefer, stated Thursday evening : We are now reviewing amendments that...texas.gunowners.org
"We are now reviewing amendments that were added by the Senate to look for issues that would break House rules governing the purpose of HB 1927. Our first impression has us very concerned. Will share more as soon as we can. Our goal is to make Texas the 21st Constitutional Carry state."
It is like they are looking for a reason to screw this up.
And just think, until all those new signs are put up, none of them would be valid.
Could be a signal that it may go to conference where the amendments it could possibly get killed off. I’ve been pessimistic on getting this bull through, but I’m cautiously optimistic if we keep the pressure up. I let Phelan and hot wheels know it’s time to git ‘er done today and intend to do so every day until it’s law.
IMO the best move is to pass it ASAP and clean it up in next session like we did in 95/97.
Agreed.IMO the best move is to pass it ASAP and clean it up in next session like we did in 95/97.
You seem confident and maybe you have an inside track but Schaefer seems to be concerned with some of the language in the amendments as does GOA according to the email I got last night.
Maybe that’s all lip service to keep the troops rallied?
I still don’t like the removal of the “oops clause”.

CCP give arrest authority to anyone in the case of theft, breaches of the peace and felonies.That boggles the mind. I have problems with the whole shopkeepers privilege thing but I was under the impression that it applied ONLY to suspected shoplifting.
Under what theory did these security guards think they had the authority to ask someone to leave and then hold them, then preventing them from leaving? (Sheesh, even that question doesn't make sense...)
Like a hotshot crammed up a bull's ass. Keep pressure on that button.Could be a signal that it may go to conference where the amendments it could possibly get killed off.

A successful businessman once told me that a bird in the hand was NOT worth two in the bush. It was worth three in the bush.It makes more sense to pass the law now even if it isn’t exactly what you And clean it up
In the next session After all a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush
