The house wouldn't have it if they didn't.

Sure they would. They're voting on a conference committee report.

It's a Ed.D... Not very surprising.

I highly doubt this. The bill and legislative intent specifically limit the ability to put an entire classroom building on an off limits list. They could put specific classrooms or areas of a building as off limits. An example of an entire building that could be off limits would be the nuclear reactor at A&M.

There is no language in the bill that says an entire classroom building, or any other building, may not be put off limits for CHL carry. The university just has to generate a report justifying it, and remember this will be be written by people who don't want guns on campus.

Did you happen to listen to the legislative intent discussion with Sen. Birdwell yesterday? He was specifically asked about making an entire classroom building or other building off limits w/o having some type of special circumstances. He said no, that was not the intent of the legislation, and would not be allowed. This was added to the journal.

While I agree the ability to restrict concealed carry should have been more clearly defined in the law itself, the intent of the law has been plainly stated.

Class C only applied to HB910 with violations on 30.06/30.07 signs.

I believe that is incorrect. HB910 changed the penalty within 30.06. It doesn't matter where an enforceable 30.06 sign is posted, the penalty for violating is contained in 30.06.

The committee report for SB 11 has a specific carve-out for carrying on campus. Read page 8 and top of page 9.

I want to see which Democrat voted with us. I wonder if it was Whitmire?

Chas.

It was Hinojosa. He's now saying it was an accident
