IIRC, precedence is pretty much a court of law factor. Until the time it would be passed and put in effect in Texas and then challenged (as in Oklahoma's case) then the precedence would not really be considered. The advantage from this is if we can get the legislators to pass the law and get it signed off on by the Governor, then businesses/lawyers would not be as willing to try to fight it since precedence has been set. Some of you legal types correct me if I am off base on this.sbb wrote:While i totally agree on advancing our cause, if the Federal Appeals court has given its opinion on this matter and that opinion would in effect set precident on this issue, why continue to flog the horse after it has won the race? I may be way off base here but since the Texas legislature meets only once every two years it would seem to me that time could be devoted to other pro gun issues. This would also further our cause and just maybe get some legislation passed this session instead of in 2011.

Re: Big Win for Workers in 10th Circuit Court!
Why would they not want to continue on this subject? While it helps our cause, it isn't a done deal as there are always folks who will not want it passed in their state. We need to continue contacting our Senators and Representatives on this and any other bills that have been filed to garner every bit of support we can muster!sbb wrote:This begs the question, should the Texas legislature continue with pending legislation on this subject or should they spend their time attempting to pass other wanted pro gun bills. I was thinking along the lines of allowing CHL's to carry anywhere an off duty LEO can carry. What are your thoughts.
