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.
I’ve posted here before that I have a “judge/prosecutor” CHL in Texas that allows me to carry anywhere. The reason provided by the Legislature was that judges and prosecutors are supposed to be charged with assisting in the protection of the public, as well as being targets for disgruntled parties. This sounds like the same sort of reasoning. Frankly, I’m firmly of the opinion that “an armed society is a polite society”, so I think anybody ought to be able to carry anywhere. Even on military bases (my absolute pet peeve in this area).

Anything in the Texas Legislature now that is being stalled is because of the Speaker...
Just remember who voted for the RiNO, and those who are getting screwed because they didn’t support him are being redistricted out of office now...
I find this kind of bill (law) now to be insulting above and beyond whatever support I’ve lent in the past to my State Senator who probably doesn’t carry on a daily basis anyway...
Never mind that they probably (but who knows, maybe they did) talk to people like Alice Tripp (TSRA lobbyist), Charles Cotton (NRA Board of Directors), Commissioner Patterson (Father of the Texas CHL) about this bill and how much it is a slap in the face to Texas CHL’ers in this state...
