I would probably disagree with that statement. At least in the dense metropolitan areas. That is why the number of 30.06/07 signs went through the roof this past year. My opinion is that posting 06 indicates an attitude of "Icky guns! why do you need that?!?" and 07 indicates "I don't care, I just don't want to see it for my sake or for the sake of my other customers."

They indicate some minor cleanup and clarifying legislation may have a shot but nothing major.

That's just one rep but it appears they've been testing the water on this issue.

At the beginning of last session, I'm pretty sure that I recall people saying their reps were indicating that there was limited support for open carry and very little for campus carry and we wound up with both.

Last session was a FANTASTIC one for gun rights in Texas. My biggest hope is that the dishonesty of local officials regarding fines for signs receives attention at the capitol and will result in fewer off-limits locations for LTC holders as well as more teeth in SB273.
