Sort of like the WalMart one where the family is suing them because it is against policy to carry on the clock. Their son was robbing the store when an off the clock manager killed the robber. They are suing WalMart because of their no guns policy and their son was killed by an employee.

Unfortunate to be sure. I would sign an agreement absolving my employer from responsibility of an incident I were involved in. Those are the conditions we carry everywhere else. Why would I expect it to be different at work. After all, I'm not a city employee.

Property owners/employer's rights will not be trumped by law. There is no law preventing me from carrying at work except to respect the rights of the employer. There are a few places that are, but I think even those say that if the employer allows it employees can carry there.

In 46.03 we have ...
1. schools & educational institutions
2. polling places
3. courts & offices
4. racetracks
5. secured area of airports
6. within 1,000 feet of execution place on day of execution

Any of these places would be great, but #1 would be incredible. Wow! I just re-read you post that all of 4.03 would be gone. I'm not sure how that would work with #5 since they don't allow anyone past the security checkpoint without a boarding pass and they are not going to allow me to fly with my concealed weapon.


And in 46.035 we have ...
1. 51% places
2. high school, college, & pro sporting events
3. correctional facility
4. hospitals
5. amusement parks
6. churches

We already have 4-6 in 46.035. 51% places have already been ruled out and I doubt correctional facilities will be eliminated, but adding #2 from 46.035 would be really nice.

Thank you Charles for not letting me be lazy and challenging me to look these up myself. No sarcasm intended.

Edited to add the blue text.

If that's true, then the bill accomplishes nothing. Hospitals already have this power.

Well, IIRC, Charles has stated that they will not trample upon the private property's owners' rights. So, I must admit I'm not entirely sure what we will be gaining. Maybe it will mostly be schools. IDK

This is an EXCELLENT idea of a bill and I would be overjoyed were it to pass.
