Employees only and I believe CHLs only. The bill is badly written, but IMO the most reasonable interpretation is that it only applies to CHL holders.

That is not accurate.

"A public or private employer may not prohibit an employee who holds a license to carry a concealed handgun under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, who otherwise lawfully possesses a firearm, or who lawfully possesses ammunition from transporting or storing a firearm or ammunition the employee is authorized by law to possess in a locked, privately owned motor vehicle in a parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area the employer provides for employees."

This applies to anyone who lawfully possesses a firearm, not just CHL's. There is an exception for property:

"owned or leased by a chemical manufacturer or oil and gas refiner with an air authorization under
Chapter 382, Health and Safety Code, and on which the primary business conducted is the manufacture, use, storage, or
transportation of hazardous, combustible, or explosive materials"

That is limited to CHL's only. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/ ... 00321F.htm

Back on topic. When Charles said, "much of SB1581 is unnecessary," I assumed that meant that the bill would go nowhere. So, if that's the bill the CC amendment is attached to, there seemed to me little chance of CC passing. Hence my question in response to his post.

You Bet, I was much too ugly to be picked for HALO school.

From what little I've seen of Texas politics, its anybody's guess what will happen. I do know there is some stiff opposition--so we'll see what the next few days bring.

Love the avatar.

I love Grouper--especially grilled!

b) What does it take to pass the Parking Lot bill?

First off; Love the Screaming Eagle Avatar. My pa served with them when I was a kid (not me, I preferred Ft. Bragg ).

a) Campus Carry; The next step is for Campus Carry to get through the House. It passed the Senate attached to another bill. What everyone is discussing on the forum now is all of the maneuvering that politicians are doing before this comes up on the House floor for debate. There is a lot of speculation on whats going to happen and you can expect there will be some resistance. Campus Carry can be on the floor as early as tomorrow.

b) Parking Lot; it has passed both the House and Senate, but there were changes made by the House before they passed it. There will be a committee, with members from the House and Senate that will try to work out a compromise. Then it gets voted on again.

Both bills still have a bit to go, so watch the board for Call's for action in the next few days.

I hope this helps
