Priorities for 2019 legislative session

My thoughts for those things that would have the most significant impact on my day-to-day carry, in priority order:
  • 1.Expand the protection that prohibits a person from being fired just for having a gun in their locked car to also cover licensed carry on the premises, even while at work. In other words, prevent employers from prohibiting licensed carry by their employees while at work.
  • 2. Remove the loophole in 411.209 that excludes third-parties leasing government-owned facilities from the fines associated with prohibiting concealed or open carry in those facilities. Either the third-party should be subject to the same fines, or the governmental entity that owns the facility would still be subject to the same fines, even if the third-party is preventing licensed carry. Licensed carriers need something with substance to go after these third-parties that are deliberately going against the legislative intent of 411.209, and the governmental entities that allow them to do so.
  • 3. Remove all of the so-called "gun free zones" defined in 46.03 and 46.035.
Those would have a huge impact on me personally, and my ability to literally carry "everywhere, all the time."
