Actually this law would restrict the type of policy they could legally have.

Correct. Texas is an employment at will State, meaning an employer can fire someone for any reason that does not violate Texas or federal law, or no reason at all. There are exceptions, but they are not relevant for this discussion. This bill will make it illegal to fire someone for having a gun in their car.

Oh NICE!
I guess I should not have commented before I could have read the text of the bill. :oops:

So if I read HB103 correctly, it doesn't say that someone that's no-billed by a GJ can't be sued civilly, but they can recover any money they lost because of the suit?

Is this a good thing? What's to stop someone from suddenly declaring bankrupcy or just not paying? You're still screwed then.
