Great. A rep from Texas Gun Sense is testifying now.

She wants a ban on school grounds... for safety.

How many LTC holders have committed gun crimes on school property?

"2800 gun deaths per year in Texas."

Again, how many of these were by LTC holders?

These people throw these numbers out blatantly ignoring that open carry and campus carry currently only apply to LTC holders, who are more law-abiding than the norm.
Keep calm and carry.

She is asking them to make universities opt-in. NO. Absolutely NO.

Good Lord! Now Moms Demand Action are testifying. Throwing out statistics like they're real. We all know how badly these people lie.

Can't wait for Mr. Cargill to get up on the next panel and set all of the lies straight. Saw him last night at a weapons retention Krav Maga class I took at his shop, where I also got my CHL class done.

This too shall pass. And Huffman shut MDA down pretty decisively.

I am loving that the MDA and Gun Sense women are being forced to sit through listening to the OC Texas guy drone on and on and on.

Ms. Okafor, regional rep for Students for Campus Concealed Carry, is testifying. Right after the lying UT history professor.
