Not to attempt to speak for Charles, but I believe the bill numbers he posts here mean that he has updated the running status information at Texas Firearms Coalition. This color-coded and descriptive list appears at: https://www.texasfirearmscoalition.com/ ... t&catid=58

HB1463 - By Kleinschmidt: Allows members of the Texas Legislature and statewide elected officials with a CHL to carry handguns everywhere peace officers can carry. Neutral on bill.
Status: Referred to Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee March 2nd. Public Hearing: April 4th and left pending.

Charles, why are we neutral on this one? I think it is a terrible idea for there to be a two-tiered system in which an elected official is somehow more trustworthy than a regular citizen when it comes to the privileges afforded under CHL. We all have to pass the same background check, take the same class, and pass the same test and range qualification.

Is my life worth less than a legislator's? Am I any less in need of self protection inside an amusement park or a professional sporting event than an exalted legislator with a whiff of the divine about them? I'm not buying it. What is good for the goose is very much good for the gander.
