I'm not including any changes in my bill, other than repealing the 51% sign. It's quite possible, if not likely, that there will be no new signs. This would leave 30.06 for concealed-carry by LTCs and 30.7 for open-carry by LTCs. TPC §30.05 will apply to all non-LTCs just as it does now.

Chas.
Does moving TPC46.035 to TPC46.03 remove the force of law for the much beloved 30.06 & 30.07 signs? By my logic, 30.06 and 30.07 are referenced in TPC46.035 and moving the reference to TPC46.03 and excluding LTC from TPC46.03, effectively LTC holders can ignore the signs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would love to go see a baseball game and not have to worry about walking from the parking lot. Much the same with hospitals, the crimes take place in the parking lots.
It seems like they would still apply on private property but without any special snowflake penalty rnhancement.

1. Exempt LTC from 46.03 the same as off duty LEO. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to carry everywhere an ISD cop can carry on vacation.

2. Repeal 46.035 entirely. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to carry a handgun where anybody who can own a gun can carry an AR-15 etc.

3. Make a 30.06 sign on government property a presumptive civil rights violation. It should be treated the same as a sign prohibiting Muslims on government property, both for enforceability and penalties for posting.

4. Greatly weaken civil immunity for individuals who work for the government. Eliminate it entirely when there is abuse of power, such as false arrest and official oppression.

5. Repeal state laws for silencers. Let the feds enforce the law on their own, like marijuana in Colorado.

6. While on the subject of pot, decriminalize possession of small quantities of Texas-grown marijuana by people 21 and older. There's no interstate commerce, but don't interfere with the feds if they really want to chase down glaucoma and cancer patients.

7. Property Tax Reform. If the owner protests the valuation, and doesn't agree with the results of the hearing, they can require the appraisal district to purchase the property at 95% of the final assessed value.

8. Remove the requirement to have a hunting license to hunt on private property with the land owner's permission. Increase the penalty for hunting on private land without the owner's permission.

9. Make ammunition subject to the same sales tax rate as newspapers.

10. I got more if we get at least half of the above.
