You're welcome. If anyone wants a particular segment extracted, let me know. I've downloaded the original source video file from the Senate archives so I can easily extract segments quickly without any quality loss.

I don't want to be greedy but I would like to have access to a clip that contains the sheriff of McLennan county's comments. I want to share it with my sheriff. I understand he didn't say much about open carry other than he supports it if it is licensed like chl.

Didn't they sign an oath to tell the truth?

Yeah. I only watched the whole thing live yesterday, but I definitely remember him saying it was the uniform/badge that deters crime and not the visible gun.

I felt like suggesting he and his officers try doing away with the guns for a couple of weeks and see how the uniform gets the job accomplished.

Or conceal their guns since there is no advantage to having them exposed.

Thank you.

It was a three step process. First I captured the stream in FRAPS, then used VLC media player to downscale the video segment I wanted, then posted through YouTube. It was pretty simple. Took about 5 minutes of my time, then it took YouTube about 15 minutes to upload and convert the video.

Capturing YouTube videos is extremely easy, but capturing genuine streaming video from other sources and getting it into YouTube is much more annoying.

Thanks

From the link I posted previously.

Official audio recordings and transcripts are available from the Senate Staff Services office at (512) 463-0430.

How do you capture YouTube video? I would like to get his entire testimony. There is some rich material there.

Make this guy famous...

Infamous

Wasn't it a statement along those lines that cost Clayton Williams the governors office back in the 80's?

Yes and we ended up with Governor Ann Richards because of it.

You should be able to access the archive video here once they load it. It doesn't appear to be available yet. http://www.senate.state.tx.us/avarchive/?yr=2015&mo=02" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Acevedo's testimony was about as irrational and lacking in logic as any I heard from any of the nutjobs yesterday.

I think a good sign for us is Texas Tech's chancellor. It appeared he almost conceded campus carry would become law and he was there to tried to influence some aspects of it. He also acknowledged there are already guns on campuses.

Please don't give them ideas.

Too late. Zaffarini already has an amendment to attach to the open carry bill that will require external identification if it gets included.

Sure would be bummer if they required a chl badge for exposed identification after all the jokes we've made about them and tiaras.

Didn't SB11 pass with an amendment from Zefferini?

And Chief Acevido was a real piece of work. He told so many lies it got hard to pick out the truths from what he said. Maybe there were none?

I believe Huffman added an amendment to the open carry bill that requires the gun to be concealed on college campuses.

Zaffarini, which is a Straus buddy, said she has 12 amendments but she'll add them later, I guess on the floor.

I can live with the substitute bill.

Excited they got out of committee.

For how long are they breaking? I don't want to miss the vote.
