Oh wow...check out the link to the article in this thread for more info about "dual points of resistance"

Has there been a rash of folks taking OC'ers guns in other states? I know of one incident in VA, but that is about it.
The article says Level 2, but the letter of the bill doesn't say that. Is there an established precedent that "dual points of resistance" means Level 2?
In my quick read through the bill I could not see a reason they could force Level 2 holsters.

A holster that resists(provides tension) at the muzzle and at the trigger guard - like the quality boned leather holsters I have - should meet a dual point requirement.

Of course, IANAL, nor have I played one on TV.

It not only applies to both open-carry and concealed-carry, it repeals the statutorily-required verbiage that has been required since 1997. This specific language combined with the 1" block letter requirement are what makes a TPC §30.06 compliant sign the "big ugly sign" that property owners don't want to post. All that is necessary under HB700 is that a property owner post a sign referencing Tex. Gov't Code §411 and TPC 30.06. This could be a very small sign even though HB700 retains the 1" block letter requirement.

To say this is disappointing would be a gross understatement.

Chas, I expect you would read the bill regardless, but your review & feedback on the bill is highly anticipated :)
