while in certain situations it's sometimes smarter to conceal carry so the bad guy doesn't know you have a handgun having the option to open carry would really be great!!

We lobbied heavily for that bill. Lots of trips to Austin. The House Homeland Security Committee testimony adjourned today on HB 910 (SB 17 companion bill) and vote from them is expected next week. My preemption bill (My organization co-authored) was filed in the house this week by Rep White as well. THAT is my baby

The vote was actually 20-10 with one voting present today.

Senate bill had 23 amendments submitted, only 3 added

1) effective date to be Jan 1 instead of Sept 1. DPS "needs" more time to train officers <rolls eyes>
2) Retention training to be added to CHL class. Does not apply to renewals
3) No open carry on any part of higher education institution including parking lot (this was done to protect campus carry bill SB 11..hearing on that bill is tomorrow, will be live streamed)

you're right, most criminals are cowards but there's always the chance you get one dumb or drunk enough to try and take your pistol away from you. this is a big reason I stay away from crowds.

and move on down ! we have room for a few more.

I send out e-mail alerts when I need people to call/email reps/senators with sample texts blocks.

Some of my organization's bills that I personally helped author:
HB 3717 a bill enacted to reduced 30.06 penalty from class A to class C misdemeanor. (Filed by Rep. White)

HJR 56 State Constitutional Amendment in the regulation of arms (Filed by White)

HB 4061 a bill to add civil remedy when municipalities violate state preemption. (This is MY baby)

not sure if it's allowed to be posted (mods?) but if you are interested in staying up to date with my bills, I can message my website address to join e-mail alerts.

You're right and I feel the same way.
Coincidently, I just came home from meeting with my financial planner and I'm on track with walking away in about 4 years and the subject of leaving this gawed awful state came up. I think I'm wearing the missus down.
