Re: any info on HB3218?

In response to Charles' Call-To-Action (LINK) I've emailed Joe Pickett and will also fax him the following. Feel free to copy/modify/etc. if that makes it easier for you to get the word out...

eMail Joe Pickett here: http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/me ... istrict=79" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Just click the blue email button.
After you hit submit, the next page asks you to CONFIRM.
Be sure you confirm on the second page, or your message will not be sent.
Dear Mr. Pickett,
I write today to ask for your support of HB 3218, "relating to the places where a person may carry a handgun if the person is licensed to carry a concealed handgun."

Texas CHL holders are sixteen times less likely to commit a crime than is the general public and seven times less likely to commit a crime than are Texas peace officers.

It's time to remove the restrictions on where we can defend ourselves. These restrictions make it more safe for criminals and less safe for honest citizens.

Please schedule a public hearing and committee vote on HB3218 at the earliest opportunity. I ask for your vote in favor of this Bill, both in committee and in the full House.

Thank you.

Regards,
RoyGBiv

I suppose it isn't realistic to expect that restriction to go away at this time.
This bill is a HUGE step in a good direction, however. Hopefully it will pass into law.
HB3218 exempts CHLs from both TPC §46.02 and §46.03. (See Section 5 of the Bill beginning on page 6.) We would be able to carry everywhere a LEO can carry.

Chas.
Ahhh.. Ok.. I found it in section 5 (5)... Excellent.!!!

Re: any info on HB3218?

Oh wow.! That would be very nice indeed.
CHL's would be allowed to carry nearly everywhere (??) a LEO can carry.
SECTION 5. Sections 46.15(a) and (b), Penal Code, are
amended to read as follows:
(a) Sections 46.02 and 46.03 do not apply to:

<snip>

(5) a person who is carrying a concealed handgun and a
valid license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government
Code, to carry a concealed handgun of the same category as the
handgun the person is carrying.
