We encourage this committee to focus on moving HB 1927 forward as the most efficient path to passing Constitutional Carry in Texas. Time is ticking down, and there is no need to waste time sending a new bill to the House when the House has already done the heavy lifting to pass a strong bill. We call on Lt. Gov. Patrick to use his position to secure the necessary votes and pass HB 1927 in the Senate without delay.

Head’s up.
Citizens of Texas may openly and freely carry a weapon of their choice without necessity of a permit, exam, or any other restriction.
I suspect that the NCAA threatened to pull a Final Four if the bill passed.
I like Dan Patrick, but if he is the hurdle here, like him or not he can be voted out.
Dan Patrick, born Dannie Scott Goeb from Baltimore Maryland. DAMN IT! Just like the Bush family. All from the Northeast.
They come here to Texas and pervert the hell out of our states politics.

More and more it’s looking like we made the right decision. Texas senior-level Republicans are looking more like RINO’s with every passing day.
Meanwhile, we Floridians have Gov. Ron Desantis. And, we couldn’t be happier about this. Texas appears to have a Gov. and Lt. Gov. that appear to be All Hat, No Cattle, as the saying goes.
I trust her. She knows what she is talking about.
Very bright woman.
Yes, he is. He has stonewalled it in every session he’s been in.
Crud, I have liked some of what he’s said in the past two years.
Time to primary him with Abbott.
After scanning SB 2224, it seems that the poison pill is to require the handgun owner to get a license to carry that has the same requirements as the concealed carry permit.
As a former long time listener to Dan Patrick’s radio station I’d guess Mr. Patrick is just dumb. He always struck me as an attention seeking, not very smart, but well intentioned conservative.
The fine hands and cold cash of globalist oligarchs reaches far.
Is it DPS input that is causing Dan Patrick to gum the works?
I noticed that the principal author of the bill is listed as Texas Sen. Charles Schwertner, from Georgetown.

The part about UT Austin does not impress me much. UT has always been riddled with flaming leftie liars and frauds. You cannot judge a person by that but the influence of the Left is strong at that University. It is the sad reality of the situation.
