Indeed, it sometimes seems like the American people collectively lose their ability to think rationally during an election. Remember "Read my lips - no new taxes"? Remember Perry's "property tax relief"? "If you like your doctor, you can keep him"? This is just more of the same. It's just a carrot on a stick to get voters. Politicians have been doing it since elections were invented.

What happened? Did Abbott say anything encouraging?

"Events:
Since time is running short, an author of a controversial gun bill says Texas lawmakers are going to try and combine both “open carry” (CHL holders can holster in public) and “campus carry” (allows firearms in college classrooms) into one omnibus gun bill by Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman (HB 910). At 9:30 AM a group of opponents will gather in the Capitol rotunda to draw attention and try and stop the 2nd amendment bills. The Senate has passed both “open carry” and “campus carry”. The House has passed “open carry”. This week committees will likely take up the other chamber’s bills to move the process along."
Very interesting. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks.

Well, as I understand it, the Senate could still hear HB910 and HB308, if Patrick has the grit to step up to the plate. If he does, he'll be a hero to at least a million Texans. Come on, Patrick, you can do it.

Re: Campus Carry revived, attached to open carry

What about 910? It's done with the house, now can Patrick pick it up in the Senate and get'er done?

Re: Campus Carry revived, attached to open carry

I hope it doesn't bog things down. There's a huge amount of public misunderstanding about what this bill does. Everybody thinks it means drunk kids waving guns around at frat parties, shooting professors for giving them bad grades, etc.
