Re: ACTION NEEDED! Employer parking lot bills

I just checked who has signed onto what....in my above post I said my
State Rep (Dem) had signed on with the parking lot bill....that was incorrect....
he actually signed on to the campus carry bill....(Rep Joe Driver from Garland
rocks).
I am elated. Now I just need my State Sen to get on board w/ campus carry
and my State Rep to support the parking lot bill and I'll be a happy voter!

Re: ACTION NEEDED! Employer parking lot bills

I called both my State Rep and State Sen regarding support of the bills
providing for campus carry and the parking lot bill. I noticed the Rep (Dem) has
now signed on to the parking lot bill. I received a letter in the mail today
from my State Sen (Rep) saying he has joined Sen Hegar as a co-author of SB730.
I appreciate both officials support of the parking lot bills in their respective
House or Senate areas of government.

Neither have responded to the issue of the campus carry bills. These 2 items
were the only issues I brought to their attention in my phone conversations.
Granted, I only spoke with their staff members. However, I left the appropriate
SB & HB bill numbers, and requested each contact me when they had been able
to review the proposed bills and made a decision to support or oppose (since
staff had no idea).

Maybe campus carry is too hot a topic for them to take a public stance in
advance? If I don't hear from either one, what is a reasonable amount of time
to wait before contacting their offices again? I don't want to be a pest, but I don't
want the campus carry issue being placed on the back burner, so to speak.
It's taken almost 2 weeks to receive the letter I got today.

My personal agenda is CHL to be able to carry anywhere LEO can carry. I know it
can/will be done in small steps.

In case I've never said Thank You to Dr. Cotton for your efforts and this web site
I'm doing it now. Thank you.
