I'll restate

A Texas CHL holder should be able to carry anywhere a Texas LEO can carry.

Schools are not off my list. I just changed it to anywhere a LEO can carry, a CHL holder can carry.

I have my fingers crossed on the National Parks.

After reading this thread and speaking to a bunch of Rights Enthusiasts, I have modified my list. (These are not listed in any order.)

Texas

- CHL is a valid ID

- SB501 - 30-06 has no meaning when cities post their facilities. Have a DAILY fine for government officials that post meaningless 30-06 signs. About the same fine $50 - $1000 per day fine local governments have for individuals not following their rules. This still includes the Houston Red Badge of CHL.

- Parking lot bill. (I think this is the only bill we pushed, that didn't make it in 2007.)

- CHL Holders can pack any where and any way Texas Law Enforcement officials can pack.

- No voluntary searches of vehicles or homes. If the officer has probable cause, get a warrant, otherwise NO! (I am a Rights Enthusiasts, not just a 2nd Amendment Gun Nut.)

Federal

- Buy and sell guns anywhere in the US where the state uses NCIS. If they are doing the background check in Washington, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to buy a gun in Nevada.

- Carry in National Parks. There is a move in DC to change the rules to match the states where the parks reside.

- Carry in Post Offices. (Did I read that it's only a $50 fine? Maybe I'll just spot them the $50 if they spot me and take offense.)

- Make it legal to use abbreviations on a 4473 yellow form. Remove County from the form. (TX, Hou., Y, N Should all be ok.) (If you know the city, state, and zip, Why do you need the county?)
(Yes, I read the post that said it's up to the BATFE but, they don't seem to follow the wishes of congress. Maybe it would help if the rules were spelled out.)

- Dissolve the BATFE.
(Yes, I read the Ron Paul solution. I don't believe he could do it.)

My goal is:
CHL Holders can pack anywhere Texas Law Enforcement Officers can pack.


You mentioned some of the steps along the way.

I thought the Katrina gun confiscation law passed in Texas in 2007

There was only one item from our wish list that did not pass was the parking lot bill.

(Packing at college didn't get brought up until the session was half over.)

The national Katrina gun confiscation law came up but I don't remember that we won.

Schools / baby steps

Maybe the baby step is:

Colleges and universities.
Many of our legislatures considered that after Virginia Tech.

There wasn't time in 2007

It might be a tough sell in 2009, but...

It's not too early to start our list for 2009.

Texas

- CHL is a valid ID

- SB501 - 30-06 has no meaning when cities post their facilities. Make it a Felony for the any government official that posts a building in Texas, including federal buildings. Also includes the Houston Red Badge of CHL. (This falls under the heading of Dream Big.)

- Parking lot bill. (I think this is the only bill we pushed, that didn't make it in 2007.)

- CHL holders packing in school buildings and events.

- Courts and professional sporting events must have secure storage available or they can't post.

- No voluntary searches of CHL holders vehicles. If the officer has probable cause, get a warrant, otherwise NO!
