And this my children is why all politicians should never,ever be trusted. Regardless of "party" affiliation. They are ALL criminals of the most heinous kind. I will not go into detail of what each should rightly experience. PREZACTLY!!!

How many votes required in the Senate to pass, simple majority 16 or more?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

The bill comes out of the 'special' committee without amendments and goes to the full Texas Senate!! I'm glad it got that far. But I'm sure not holding my breath for the traitorous RINO's to not kill it with a vote. Candy ass corksuckers. A pivotal moment for Texas politics. No. I think it is just for the face value of it passing. If it fails that might be an indicator of the future direction of personal rights in the state of Texas.

I suspect that, much like Louisiana, everyone there is packing whether or not legislation passes or fails. 1st rule of Gun Safety: Don’t be without it. 2nd rule: Come and take it. I’m hopeful it passes just for the public statement attached to the action.

Exactly. "Don't bring your guns to town." was kinda what Texas guns law were based on. Now there are big cities. Millions of people from places like California, New York and even Minnesota are coming by the millions. With them come more complicated rules.

From Shooting Illustrated (April 27): https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2021/4/27/20-states-now-have-constitutional-carry20 States Now Have Constitutional CarryTennessee joined 19 other states that allow constitutional carry when Gov. Bill Lee signed Senate Bill 765/House Bill 786 into law earlier this month. The measure takes effect July 1, applies to law-abiding citizens 20 and older, and a provision includes those serving in the military who are 18 to 20 years of age.“This bill is a great step forward in the advancement of self-defense rights and Second Amendment freedoms for all Tennessee gun owners,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Jason Ouimet. “It simply means law-abiding Tennessean’s no longer have to pay a tax to exercise the right of self-protection.” The number of states joining those with constitutional carry has grown quickly in 2021. On Feb. 18 Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 102 into law, allowing constitutional carry for state residents. Iowa became the 19th state to enroll on April 2. The measures become effective June 1 and July 1, respectively. The other 17 states with constitutional carry laws are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah (effective May 5), Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming. The merits of similar or nearly identical measures are currently being considered by a number of other state legislatures. One passed muster in a Louisiana Senate committee and is headed for debate on the body’s main floor. Texas lawmakers are also considering a permitless carry provision and South Carolina’s House recently approved a constitutional carry measure. Others are in the works across the nation. The number of concealed carry permits issued nationwide has reach record-setting levels, despite the rapid growth of constitutional carry states. A study issued by the Crime Prevention Research Center in September 2020 reported, “Last year, the number of permit holders continued to grow by about 820,000.”

Supposed to come to a vote before the Texas Senate this week.
Time for another round of calls.

Senate debate on HB 1927 (constitutional carry). Warning - the Democraps are doing everything they can to derail this legislation through emotional rhetoric and outright lies: https://tlcsenate.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=5&event_id=3863
