Trying to limit the amendments in order to get something as close as possible to what the senate passed kept a few things from being added to the bill that would have been nice to include but I understand the strategy.
Yeah, got to be careful with amendments. But hey, if I'm wishing I'm going all out.
Normally I'm against amendments unless they are directly related to the proposed bill. We wouldn't be in such a pickle as our country find itself if the US congress abided by a strict germaneness rule. But that's a topic for another time and thread I guess.

I read an article in the Christian Science Monitor this morning re the Texas house passage of Licensed OC. Among other things, the article indicated that the legislature opted to require a special open-carry permit for which owners would have to apply. I don't recall seeing anything about a special open carry permit in SB17 or HB910 or amendments put forth on Fri. Did I miss something or what?

No. The current CHL is the only requirement. That same misinformation was in a Yahoo article. Don't know where it's coming from.

Smart. Why build and entirely new infrastructure when you have a good one already in place. CHL instructors generally do a good job here in Texas.

Maybe they are thinking about the amendment that wanted open carry to require some kind of badge. It was tabled, thank goodness.

I sent an email to that staff writer suggesting he check his sources again and print an accurate corrected article.

In a way it would get even closer to the constitutional carry/no-infringement goal the OC gang has desires on seeing or more likely torpedo CHL-Open carry for this session. He would also have record to run on to show who voted against "his" version/amendment that denied Texas OC.
If this is true, I can see why the whole Stickland side show needed to go down in flames with regards to HB-910. Weird if true.
If I read Stickland's commentary in the House Journal correctly, it seems his amendment would have allowed open carry with or without a CHL. If true, I don't see how it could be germane. Germaneness notwithstanding, he wasted a lot of time and written space in the journal on an amendment that would've been tabled anyway.

Hopefully you reminded him that Texas is not the "Long" Star State?
The state of high plains drifters and urban cowboys has long been skeptical about open-carry of handguns, making the Long Star State more like New York than Arizona when it comes to guns out in the open. That’s now changing.

And they're long guns, not long runs! Quoting from the article, "To be sure, Texas has always allowed residents to carry long runs, like rifles and shotguns, in the open, a nod to its pioneer past and living ranch legacy."

Remember when someone's sole job was proof reading/editing articles before they were published? Some of the stuff that passes for news these days is almost impossible to read.

Here I was thinking spam bots were writing the articles, with the headlines like "Texas set to approve open up have of handguns, witnessed as get for gun-rights activists" from this article http://www.bulletinstandard.org/us/texa ... 10153.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It will be hard to convince me otherwise.
How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?
