It wouldn't go to a conference committee unless the House refused to concur. The concurrence vote only needs a simple majority to pass. If it gets that simple majority, it goes to the Gov.

If the House did not concur, only then would it go to a conference committee, where a compromise would be found.

As I understand it, CHL holders don't go through the metal detector lines. There's another line staffed by DPS they go through, and bypassess the metal detectors. DPS officer checks your CHL and passes you through.

You are correct.

CHL holders have to present their license to enter the Capitol with their concealed handgun. They would be required to do so with their openly carried handgun as well.

Haven't tried that, but they take your CHL and run it through a magnetic strip reader near the CHL line. It will pull up your license info and picture.

HB910 postponed until 6PM
