I definitely think it is intentional that it is written this way.O6nop wrote:This is also how I read it, because of the commas and the OR in the wording ...AEA wrote:"holds a license to carry a concealed handgun under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, who otherwise lawfully possesses a firearm"
I read this to mean anyone that can lawfully possess a firearm (not limited to CHL's).
Anyone that carries under the Motorist Protection Act is covered in this bill as far as I can see.
An employee who is a CHL holder, a person who can legally possess a weapon other than CHL holder OR someone carrying ammunition for a legal firearm.
However, as I said, the video keeps referencing the law as if it only applies to CHL holders.
As written, it not only applies to CHL holders (~1.5% of Texans) but also protects those carrying under the Motorist Protection Act and to (this is a big one) hunters who may not care about CHL rights but want protection from being fired if they are planning on going hunting after work and leave a gun secured in their car. This may be key to getting unions on board.
