interesting to see how the intent of this Bill survives if HB357 is passed.

If they want to carry a handgun they can (a) take the class, pass the tests, pass a background check, and have the same carry restrictions as the rest of us, (b) get the law changed so the right to keep and bear arms in Texas is not infringed, or (c) move to a state where the right to keep and bear arms is not infringed.

Law abiding taxpayers are equally at risk from violent criminal actors in any and all "gun free zones". All for one and one for all.

Did you read the Bill? I doubt you would feel this way if your daughter's husband or boyfriend beat the crap out of her and promised to kill her when she filed charges.

I too don't like elitist bills, but this Bill hardly fall into this category.

Chas.

Yes. All 9 pages. Three times. Seeings how my daughter was murdered by a stranger who stole a gun out of some car in a cul-de-sac, I am pretty sure this kind of law would not have changed the outcome. Not withstanding my personal circumstances, one of the items that may be exploited or abused is Sec. 411.184 (b)(2)(c) on page 4. I also see potential abuse and enforcement / ID issues with Sec. 46.035(n) amendment described on page 6 - which takes me back to my original statement about all for one and one for all. But I do see the valid concern in your remarks and agree this Bill does not rise to elitist status.
