It was not a dead issue when campus-carry was as added to SB5 or SB1581. An attempt was made to make it work, but it failed. This happened to us last session when Tommy Merritt was chairman of the House Public Safety Committee. We had to add things to the DPS sunset bill to get them passed.

Sen. Wentworth has been a strong supporter of gun owners and he's been a champion of campus-carry for two sessions.

Charles,

I notice that your tone has changed regarding Campus Carry. You now say "the outcome," refer to it only in the past tense, and say the attempts to make it work failed. Do you believe Campus Carry is now dead despite a super majority in favor of it in the House and a majority in favor in the Senate?

Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

No video feed here. I'm lost.

SB 1581 is a higher education bill dealing with finances. It has the campus carry amendment attached to it. A Point Of Order (POO) was called on it when it was in the Senate and it was determined to be germane because Zaffarini's amendment made this one germane. Now the SB is in the House and there's a POO there on if Campus Carry is germane. Right?

And the bill is supposed to be heard today. Now. Right?

So what is going on/has happened that I haven't followed?
