Re: HB 560 - Holy Grail?

I called my Representative (Leach) yesterday and left a message. I also called Strauss and left a message asking him to put his full weight behind this bill.

Re: HB 560 - Holy Grail?

That bill is incredibly broad and does a lot more than just reduce the number of places that are off-limits. Several of the changes seem to remove the exemptions currently in place for judges and judicial offices. Other changes do away with the monitoring of receipts by bars and require the TABC to issue only blue signs in the future. Still other changes would potentially limit an employer's ability to prohibit the carrying of a firearm by license holders. Finally, it would leave both 46.02 and 46.03 on the books with a caveat that they don't apply to LTC's.

Overall, this looks like a great bill, but there's also a lot in it there I don't understand. Hopefully, someone with more expertise than me can clarify what all it does. I'm especially curious about the implications of removing 56.02(b).
