Re: HB 1123 - First Responder Deisgnation on LTC

Just to be clear, this law is a very specialized advancement of 2A rights for a very small number of people. It makes 30.06, 30.07, and 46.035 not apply to first responders who already have an LTC if they get their license marked as first responders. It redefines first responders to not include those who already have special benefits, such as peace officers or volunteer first responders.

I am kind of ambivalent on this bill. It isn't as bad as I first thought it was (redefining first responders and making more special cases), but it isn't as good either. The more groups that get to carry the better off we are. I generally do not like special classes of people who get extra benefits, but there is that argument I said about more people carrying the better off we are.
