HB 910 - Licensed Open Carry - Officially Passed Out of Texas House of Representative

[MAC702]

Vermont isn't true CC either, because certain hearing-saving attachments are banned from the entire state, and some "public property" places are off limits for carry.

Thanks. Good to know.

After the Governor signs the bill into law you can let the public know about the supreme court case of Shuttlesworth vs Birmingham which states "If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity."

Well folks, I now have absolutely no idea how this is going to turn out or the next steps. HB 910 was just referred to the Senate State Affairs Committee a day after SB 17 went to the House Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee.

Both NRA and OC Texas originally said HB 910 would be the one to go. Or I just don't understand how TX works or what shenanigans anti republicans are pulling. I like the redundant detention amendment. Unfortunately today's police will not respect the tax cows unless it is explicitly unlawful for them not to in the statutes (cite: goose stepping chief Art Acevedo).

'Trust but Verify'...
The legislature is, after all, a gathering of elected politicians, and unfortunately most are attorneys...

A slow, subtle , soft breeze will pile the leaves higher than a brief 100 MPH wind gust......which tends to scatter them hear & there.

Am I wrong in assuming this means SB17 is dead/not going forward?

Also would be interested if someone will attend and make a general statement to make it constitutional carry in the future etc...

(i do like that we are at least getting something though)

I'm not opposed to someone doing that, but rest assured that statement has already been made clearly in both houses.

I had a thought, scary, I know but....CATI Texas, iirc, has said they will be on the steps of the capitol Sept 1 ready and willing to OC either in celebration or protest. Assuming OC passes and goes into effect on Jan 1 as planned, will they proceed as planned or reschedule?

It's my understanding that their event is not being rescheduled. My understanding is that they invite everyone to carry a toy/fake modern pistol or wear an empty holster and carry a toy/fake pistol that they provide, with the goal of having so many there carrying what appears to be real modern handguns there are not enough gestap.. err.. police resources to check them all.

 

[mustangkiller]

I'll try to find the article I read that said they were using modern firearms. Then again, maybe the plan was to have a good mix and see how many real guns slip thru the cracks. If your understanding is correct, the best way to maximize that number would be to make sure the crowd keeps moving at all times.

Yeah, I believe that they're insinuating, if not actually stating that they intend for real to be mixed in. I believe that they have every right to do it.

Welcome to Texas insider baseball: "chubbing" is the word of the day.

Any bill that hasn't passed both chambers as amended and been placed on the calendar by May 1, is dead in the water. This is the time of every session where bills get "passed", with much publicity, so that politicians can brag that they voted for a bill, with zero chance that it will actually become law.

The mismatch between reputation and laws/respect for gun rights is crazy, worse than Florida's. They now have the perfect media excuse after the motorcycle gang incident today.

Gee, thanks for the encouraging news, we will see what happens

Anyone catch the hearing? I'm not sure if HB 910 was mentioned since I had to run before they got to it.

 

[mustangkiller]

The nice young lady who answered the committee phone said they ran out of time this morning to hear our bill. They said that's the first order of business after the full Senate adjourns later today. I'll be calling again later.
