I appreciate all of your hard work and effort, and understand there are things which you can not fully discuss in the open.

My understanding, and even though I was at the capitol on an almost daily basis last week I certainly can be mistaken, is that the ONLY reason SB11 was not ALSO attached to HB910, was that the House was going to honor a commitment to pass SB11 as a standalone.

If there is/was any fear that the House will reneg, and refuse to pass SB11, then an argument could be made that the mistake was in not allowing SB11 to also be attached as an amendment to HB910, and forcing a recorded vote of just who was for and against the combined HB910/SB11 Bill.

I could be very wrong, but my impression is that an amended HB910 with both the Huffines and SB11 amendments would have passed the full Senate, and a concurrence vote from the House.

Charles L. Cotton wrote:You are assuming that the Dutton amendment had no impact on the support of HB910 with that provision. I can't say more at this point, but it doesn't take much reading between the lines to get the picture. It's understandable that people would make this assumption, but that doesn't change the facts.

The Huffines amendment has put two Bills in jeopardy.

Chas.

And, all the "doom and gloom" you are espousing would not have happened, if Huffines hadn't put forth his amendment?!

Really?!

Huffman's stripping of the Dutton amendment in Committee, prior to going to the full Senate, also would have forced... [insert quote of doom & gloom]

a concurrence vote at best, and possibly a conference committee which will eat up more time and possibly open the bill to a filibuster. Then there are the potential risks that Campus Carry faces now that the reported deal between the house and senate leadership to pass OC and CC is on shaky ground at best.

Lets ask the same question about Huffman, shall we?

was Huffines trying to kill OC, CC, or both?

Remember this ?!

Amend Floor Amendment No. 9 to CSHB 910 (Senate Committee Report version) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the amendment and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the amendment accordingly:
Section ____. Section 46.02, Texas Penal Code is amended as follows:
(b) Except as provided by Subsection Subsections (c) and (d), an offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
(d) An offense under Sections (a) and (a-1) is a felony of the second degree if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun.

Say what you want about Huffines, I think the real loser tonight was Sen Huffman.

A Class 2 Felony?

Really?

Rhino. She's gotta go.

Makes me ashamed to say I live in Houston.
