Re: Who's for less Prohibited places?
Chas - do you have any suggestions how we can help remove prohibited places this legislative session (other than getting behind any bills that are filed and writing our reps and senators)?

Re: Who's for less Prohibited places?
I am also in the group that feels if we can't immediately remove some of the prohibited places, let's lower the penalty. Instead of criminal trespass, make violation a $25 fine or some idea.
I really like Missouri's law below - from handgunlaw.us - listing of 'off limits' locations.
First, it spells out places off limits, then at the end of the statute says you only have to leave if asked.
The penalty for not leaving on first offense is $100.
I think this would be a great tack to take in TX - leave the 30.06 signs and the like for now, just make the penalty much much much lower.

About the only thing I don't like about MO's CHL law is that it appears you can't ride a bus.
