Thanks, I need that for an upcoming article and post. You saved me a lot of time!

Didn't SB11 pass with an amendment from Zefferini?

And Chief Acevido was a real piece of work. He told so many lies it got hard to pick out the truths from what he said. Maybe there were none?

I got a little lost on the amendments. I think the one amendment was a requirement that the weapons on campus be concealed (but I may be mistaken on that). There was discussion that a number of other amendments would be debated on the floor.

The amendment was Huffman No. 1 and you are correct; it would prohibit open-carry on campus. Like it or not, and I do, if open-carry were not prohibited on campus, then campus-carry would never pass. There was discussion about a similar amendment for SB17, but that was not done. It would not be necessary because of Huffman No. 1.

Testimony starts at 2:45:10
Insane rape talk starts at 2:49:50 and really gets going at 2:50:50

That was fast!

Thanks,
Chas.

If someone does listen to Acevedo's testimony, please post the point on the timeline where he begins to testify, and if possible, where he make the outrageous statement about rape. An article and Facebook post needs to go out with his exact testimony.

Both bills will be voted out of committee favorably. Most of the testimony was what one would expect with a few good surprises. There were no bad surprises, because we knew the dire predictions we heard in 1995 and in 2007 would be repeated.

Chas.

It sounds like Chairman Huffman is going to vote the bills today rather than delay it for Sen. Z's amendments.

That's exactly what I was thinking. We heard the same garbage last session.

No, it's available only as a video.
