The only Amendment to HB 910 that passed was Amendment 18, making a 30.06 violation a Class C unless "after entering the property, the license holder received notice..... and failed to depart".

Unless I'm mistaken, the Senate (SB 17) version of the Bill made it through the House with only this one Amendment.

SB 17 passed the Senate on 17-March and the House received it from the Senate on 18-March.
On 26-March the House considered and "Reported Favorably" SB 17 as a Committee Substitute for HB 910.
Therefore, as of 26-March, SB 17 = HB 910

Reported favorably as substituted 03/26/2015
Committee substitute considered in committee 03/26/2015

Since SB 17 and HB 910 were "identical", only House Amendment 18 would need to be resolved/approved by the Senate.

I have to go back and make sure, I could swear amendment #9 was tabled...I stand to be corrected...

Minor spin???

BTW, reading the minutes...I may have missed something...

Did the Strickland "gemaneness amendment" screw this deal up???

I see the bill passed (engrossed)??? but maybe I'm misreading it, because I do not see a definitive final vote on the bill and approved amendments...

Still gonna go holster shopping111

Interesting discussion...

AMENDMENT NO. 6 - REMARKS REPRESENTATIVE S. TURNER: Representative Phillips, why would we not require people that carry guns to have insurance? It seems a reasonable request.

REPRESENTATIVE PHILLIPS: First, to say in a broader picture, I don ’ t see that in the second amendment of the Constitution that it says that you have the right to bear arms if you have insurance. I know that ’ s—

S. TURNER: Some would argue that anybody should be able to carry a gun, that there shouldn ’ t be any restrictions. Are you a supporter of the constitutional right to carry then?

PHILLIPS: I ’ m very supportive of the constitutional right to carry, and I ’ m—

S. TURNER: Is this a constitutional right to carry bill?

PHILLIPS: This is allowing under our Constitution to—

S. TURNER: But is this a constitutional right to carry bill?

PHILLIPS: Mr. Turner, what I ’ m saying is that ’ s just a first and foremost. If you would like to make this a constitutional right to carry, you might have a chance to vote on that in a little bit.

S. TURNER: Are you going to accept that amendment?

PHILLIPS: I might. If you keep talking it up it sounds like—

S. TURNER: Then let ’ s just stop, and let me just come up with my amendment to have a right to constitutionally carry. Let ’ s just end it right now. If you tell me you ’ re going to accept it, I ’ ll go down there and I ’ ll write it up.

PHILLIPS: What I do know Mr.—

S. TURNER: If I write it up, will you accept it?

PHILLIPS: Mr. Turner, will you listen? What I do know is that the senate set the parameters of this—set the parameters of what we ’ re going to do, and they passed very similar to this. That ’ s what I ’ m trying to keep it to, Mr. Turner. They debated the insurance. So Mr. Turner, I just disagree that insurance is necessary, and that ’ s why I move to table.

S. TURNER: I understand, Chairman, and I ’ m just saying that to me people should be responsible. I think that ’ s what Representative Dutton is getting to, people should be responsible. To a certain extent people are not responsible, and there ought to be insurance. That ’ s the only thing I think he ’ s asking for.

PHILLIPS: I agree, responsible, and I think we’ve had 20 years demonstrated responsibility of license holders and will continue to do that, with all due respect. (Huberty now present) Representative

Phillips moved to table Amendment No. 6.

Now po little Sylvester tried his darndest, and you gotta give him credit at the last minute to put a monkey in the wrench on this whole deal...

It illustrates the democrat/liberal mindset on the issue...

I still believe those of us who choose to do so will be great ambassadors to the Second Amendment, and will conduct ourselves in a mature, cordial manner in this state from now on...

Now...Maybe its time to do some holster shopping??? I see this going to be a fashion show item on this website...Gonna drive some people insane!!!
