If I'm reading that correctly, HB 308 (46.15(5)(a)(5) would essentially invalidate 30.06 signs. Is that correct?

I was not aware of that bill.

The as-filed version of HB308 would have put CHLs in the same "Not applicable" section of §46.15 as peace officers. In short, we could carry everywhere a LEO can carry.

I really liked HB308. Other than spending way too much political capital on OC, were there any other push back issues from our side on any part of that bill?

There was no real push-back, but that's because "we" didn't push the Bill. I was a lone wolf on that one.

Chas.

So, what can an ordinary guy like myself do? Call and send emails once we have a bill number next year?

I have two things in the works now, including relaunching the old CHLs United under a new banner of Good Guys United. It will be part of a larger project and there won't be any donations accepted for that limited movement. The plan is to launch everything by the end of January.
