Springer was talking about the bill(s) and for one example, used Hospitals in his district and how employees are fearful because they aren't allowed to carry. I was confused as to why he was using that as an example, considering a hospital is not prohibited without being posted in accordance with 30.06 and being an employee, their employment policy would be the issue.

Am I missing something or was he shooting at the wrong target? :headscratch
Yes, you're missing something. HB 3218 removes the ability for a hospital to deny carry through 30.06, as it does for all the other prohibitions that were relegated to 30.06 in 46.035(i).
How do you figure that? If HB 3218 passes, a hospital would be no different than a movie theater, shoe store, or Wal-Mart. They can still post a 30.06 if they want. There's nothing in the bill that says a hospital can't...

Re: HB3218 set for hearing April 18th!

I'm calling all the committee members this morning re: 2381 and 3218. I'm also letting them know that these bills have a direct impact on me since my church meets in a school building and is thus off-limits, even though school is not in session.

Fletcher's office said they've been getting a lot of calls about these bills and that he supports "most 2nd Amendment bills". Flynn's office pointed out that the bills will not be voted on tomorrow, but that Flynn does plan to vote for both of them when the time comes. Simmons' office noted that the rep has a CHL and believes that CHL holders should be able to carry "wherever the heck they want."
