Re: HB910 on House Calendar for 3rd Reading

Senator Schwertner's office says the open carry bill is on track. I don't feel particularly reassured.

Re: HB910 Friday April 17, House Calendar for 2nd Reading

The concern over populous cities is clinically interesting.

"Urbane" means sophisticated, self-assured through wide social experience.

Oddly, "urban" seems to imply dull judgement limited to the law of the jungle, as opposed to how us sub-urbane hicks think out here in the suburbs of nowhere, where seldom is seen an urbane gunslinger lacking the necessary conflict resolution skills to keep himself out of the big house.

I'm sure I'm missing something. I'm also happy to be an happily armed hayseed, safe from the violent risks of savoir-faire.

And now for breakfast. Pass that kettle of grits, Ma, just as soon as I tuck a shop towel into my shirt. Don't want to spill anything on Pappy's old forty-five, and y'all come visit. The neighbors brought plenty of vittles.

Re: HB910 Friday April 17, House Calendar for 2nd Reading

Scenario: You walk into a store that has 30.06 posted but for whatever reason you didn't see it. First of all if you are concealed carrying what are the odds someone will know. If you're open carrying and someone tells you that it's not allowed you just leave. The only way it would be a problem is if you don't leave and they call the police, or the police were in the store and saw you. If you leave and they call the police you'll more than likely be long gone by the time they get there. The last time I checked store owners can't issue tickets. I seriously doubt this is going to be a common occurrence. I've never been asked if I was carrying while in any business. I usually frequent the same businesses so know if they're posted or not. If it's a place I've never been before I make sure to look. I feel this amendment basically protects the CHL from being arrested and losing their license due to inadvertent or accidentally entering a posted premises.
The problem I see is that when you walk past a 30.06 sign you failed to see, you have still been presented with effective notice. You just didn't recognize it. You can lead a horse to a 30.06 sign, but you can't assume that makes him disarm, I guess.

As far as tickets, citations, or charges filed, I'm pretty sure you don't have to remain at the scene of the crime. Burgle and run, and a burgler can still get charged, tried, and convicted.

I called Tinderholt's office (ex military stating he carries extra magazines), and told them how much I appreciated a clear-spoken endorsement of the incontrovertible fact that I and my fellow gun-toters aren't extremists or evil.

Things like straw purchases are the phantom arguments thrown up against gun freedom - but straw arguments over points of order are probably appreciated by gun-grabbers.

What interesting creatures, these hoplophobes.

How could Nevarez' amendment be part of hb910? wouldn't that need to be an amendment to 30.06?

Martinez Fisher reminds me of the nagging ex-wife I'm so glad I never had. My first wife is my only, and ever shall be.

But if I start to stray I'm going to remember Martinez Fisher, and with respect to the esteemed gentleman from the great city of San Antonio, I'm going to invest heavily in Valentine's Day flowers.

No need to pound Rule 4 into my head. Nossir.

Worst case, it just died.

Martinez' office is supposed to be calling me back with the point of order sustained. I'll post it here when they call back. I tried not to sound like a gun nut, which is hard. I always like to talk about guns.

I swear I hear faint yelling.

The rule violation probably has to do with passing gun freedom on Joe Strauss' watch. Yes, grumpy I am, at the moment.

There are flaws in the handling of specimen ballots in electronic elections in Texas. I can prove he wasn't lawfully elected. I think I'll bring that up to his office, and to Phillips'.
