Only possible upside is that it gives a future legislator an argument that if it’s okay for them, it should be okay for anyone.

I think they should also have special “intelligentsia only” driving lanes, commissaries, and other perks. After all, some animals are more equal.

Why havent we learned that legislators and Law enforcement officers are a step above us.

Of course they can carry weapons and we cannot, because we arent as good as they.

The legislators are the ones who should be disarmed.

Looks to me like a clever lawyer could use that to compel “Vermont carry”. They’ve just eviscerated any argument that only police/military should carry under certain conditions.

"Senate Bill 905 was approved 25-6 in just a matter of minutes."

Yet every common-sense anti-illegal immigration bill is languishing in committee, and there's a very good chance that the session will close without a single one of them ever seeing the light of day.

And we thought we won something in the midterm elections. What fools we were.

What’s next, separate entryways for lawmakers? Specific water fountains (with reverse osmosis filtration systems) for lawmakers only? Do they get to reserve the front seats in the bus, or the closest parking spots to their reserved doorways?

Separate, but ‘equal’. What a load of hoey.

I just called my state senator's office and voiced my extreme displeasure. If I don't see a bill with the exact same wording that applies to all Texans, I'm going to move heaven and earth to get this idot tossed out on her ass.

I misunderstood the bill. They want to be able to carry anywhere, but not us regular citizens.
