Link to Today's TX Senate Hearing On SB11 and SB 17 (2-12)

[Vol Texan]

And now I'll get to weep for my fellow Harris Countians....

Yes, I'm sitting here in Harris County right now...wondering how I'm going to write my letter to my elected sheriff expressing my displeasure with his testimony today.

Harris county sheriff still rambling. Just regurgitating what the Austin police said.

Not very eloquently either.

Senator Huffman is calling him out though. I'm impressed with that!

I think I heard Acevedo endorsing CHL badges.

[mr1337]

Austin, I weep for you. Your chief of police is...... well, I can't say what I feel except that I will have to start saying extra prayers for you.

I can't wait to open carry in Austin just to spite him.

CHL & or open carry badges.

[joelamosobadiah]

I need to look that guy up and take his classes. He seems so articulate.

[RoyGBiv]

The anti's speaking are so far off topic it's cringeworthy.

"we're against these bills because we're against guns"...

Wow did you guys see the chair of the Women's Voters League's complete disgust when nobody asked her to finish her statement? That was hilarious!!

[SewTexas]

She was terrible. Kept reading facts that had NOTHING to do with either of these bills. What does cost of medical treatment from a gunshot wound have to do with this?

[SewTexas]

why is everyone acting like school shooters are adults?

[J.R.@A&M]

C'mon, Duncan, don't turn turncoat.

UPDATE: OK, so far it is

A&M System Yea
UT System Nay
TTech Pragmatically Neutral
N. Texas Also pragmatically Neutral -- like they are already seeing this is going to pass the Senate, so they want to get ahead of it and shape it a little.

When is somebody on the "for" side who can speak intelligently going to be called up? Seems that those opposed to the Bills are in the majority. Sure hope Charles is there and in que....
