I just sent Senator Patrick a semi-nasty gram.

Why did you have to go and throw cold-water all over us?Keith B wrote:You know folks, there is one other alternative to get this to apply to you; run for office in the House or Senate and get elected.

Re: SB 905 passed in Senate
Stole this from the other related thread as it should be applied to all of us:
Texas lawmakers may soon be able to pack heat at church, the hospital, a sporting event or even bars. A bill that passed the Texas Senate today 25-6 would add all elected statewide officials — and even former legislators — to the list of people exempt from concealed handgun laws that prohibit carrying guns at these locations.
Certain statewide officials are already exempted — federal judges, judicial officers, district attorneys and county attorneys. Author of the bill, Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, says it exempts legislators so they can carry guns “for their own personal security” and ensure they won’t be prosecuted if they are caught “not purposefully violating the law by carrying” a gun in an prohibited location.
