Re: Allen West resigns as chair of Texas Republican Party
Maybe he would run against John Cornyn I stood 2 feet from him (he was speaking at a group event to which I belong) and asked him to do just that. It was before Cornyn was relected. In retrospect, he probably didn't have enough time to ramp up a campaign to overcome Cornyn's incumbent power but I r...

Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now
> No. In Texas, when a bill passes within 10 days of final adjournment, the Governor has 20 days from the day of final adjournment to sign or veto the bill or it becomes law without his signature. https://www.house.texas.gov/about-us/bill/ Ah, thanks for clarifying. Well either way he's running shor...

Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now
by my count, tomorrow is the last day to sign, not sign, or veto HB 1927. I can't find anything about a signing ceremony. TLO indicates abbott's not taking any action. If he signs it becomes law. If he doesn't sign, it still becomes law. If he vetoes, then its done. Either way, the only way this thi...

Re: Bonnen will not seek re-election
Sounds like somebody "made him an offer he couldn't refuse". :woohoo Just hope this turns out better than when Straus stepped down.... Well, maybe the rest of the GOP caucus will figure it out too. THEY voted for both Strauss and Bonnen. Surely they can do better. Is there a supermajority...

Re: 2017 Special Session called
Not entirely surprising given the lack of action accomplished by the lege this year (some may see that as a good thing). However, this article on the texas tribune doesn't seem to indicate that the Governor has his sights set on any pro-gun legislation, either https://www.texastribune.org/2017/06/06...

Re: Double Stack .45
I regularly carry an FNX-45. Double stack, 15+1 capacity. Has a rail for attachments if that's your cup of tea. They are making the FNX-45 tactical which also makes a nice range/competition gun because it has space for an RMR milled out directly on the slide. But you can't really conceal carry an FN...

Re: Obamacare Fines For Not Signing On
I have had several tax preparers and a CPA tell me that they just automatically assume that someone who has earned income has health insurance and they just check the box that says the filer had health insurance....I'm not advocating lying on the 1040, that's just what they have said. The IRS has ne...

Re: Waiting for Campus Carry...
I decided to have some t-shirts made for myself and my wife especially for the occasion. We are going to go to the UT-Austin campus and hopefully do some advocacy, awareness, and outreach work.

Re: conceal carry at church fundraiser?
When I first posted that the guy saying no guns appeared to have the authority, I was basing it on the statement in the OP that "the guy in charge" called him to ask for help. He has since clarified that the person was not the organizer of the event or an officer of the church in any way....

That's about how it feels when I have to go down to the DPS/Drivers license office. I see a waiting room full of people praying for death.

Re: conceal carry at church fundraiser?
Unless the church already has a TABC license, which seems unlikely, they will be getting a temporary permit from TABC for the event days only. IN most cases, temporary permits are sent as 51% permits because most charities selling beer make most of their money from the beer. Not all, but most. It w...
