Wanna make any bets on UT and Adm McRaven, especially with any purported "health" related institution?

The conference report linked above (unless I misread it) now give the college the authority to create rules that forbid me from carrying on the parking lot and grounds in return for a theoretical right to carry in buildings only on campuses that decide to allow me that privilege.

Unless I am mistaken, this is a major step backwards, not forwards.

SB11 ?

And hopefully, with all of the bru-ha-ha of Dutton/Huffines, every LEO in the state of TX is now aware of the 4th Amendment, Terry v Ohio, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuits as it relates to OC...

While I think most LEO are good apples, there certainly are some bad apples out there.

With the proliferation of security cameras, cell phone cameras, and more recently, personal body cams and groups such as CopWatch/CopBlock, I would respectfully argue the protections of the Huffines amendment are not illusory.

More and more bad apples will be caught perjuring themselves as a result of technology.

Any doubts about this can be quickly erased by doing some searches on YouTube.

Black is persuasive authority, but not controlling authority and who knows if the very conservative 5th Circuit will follow its logic? That's why I don't claim there's current constitutional protection. My argument is that protection of the Huffines amendment is illusory because all a LEO has to do is have something in addition to the open-carry of a handgun to justify a stop.

Chas.

Heading back to the Capitol later.

Guess we'll find out if there will be an amendment to HB910, and if so, what it is...

C'mon SB11 !

Well, I'm heading to the Capitol in about an hour, and that is what I am going to ask them for.

What are my thoughts?

At tomorrow's Senate "State Affairs" committee meeting, amend HB 910 with SB 11 and send to full Senate for a vote, then the House for a concurrence.
