"Events:
Since time is running short, an author of a controversial gun bill says Texas lawmakers are going to try and combine both “open carry” (CHL holders can holster in public) and “campus carry” (allows firearms in college classrooms) into one omnibus gun bill by Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman (HB 910). At 9:30 AM a group of opponents will gather in the Capitol rotunda to draw attention and try and stop the 2nd amendment bills. The Senate has passed both “open carry” and “campus carry”. The House has passed “open carry”. This week committees will likely take up the other chamber’s bills to move the process along."
Very interesting. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks.
Or it might be another freight train coming straight at us. :???:

Notice that the journalist didn't name the "author of a controversial gun bill", but he named every other source in the article. Hmmmm....I wonder why? If the 'unnamed source' is the legislator who was ejected from a committee meeting, then I don't put much faith in what the journalist wrote. NOT because of what the journalist wrote, but because of what his 'unnamed source' said. IE: don't believe everything you read in the newspaper, but take it with a grain of salt. ;-)

I was told that yesterday was the deadline for the calendars committee, and HB 937 is now dead for this legislative session. So the only viable alternatives left for campus carry are the companion bI'll SB 11 or amending the open carry bill as discussed above. :mad5
Yup. Yesterday was the deadline for House to distribute last House Daily Calendar with house bills and joint resolutions.

Today(Wednesday), is the deadline for House to distribute last House Local and Consent Calendar with Consent House Bills.

And the Calendars Committee hasn't published the minutes from yesterday's(May 12th) meeting, so we don't even know what bills are on that last calendar. Same goes for Local & Consent Calendars(for the 12th OR the 13th, which is today)
