I spoke with a lot of coworkers during the past week and WE want schools treated the same as hospitals and shopping malls. We want equal protection under the law instead of special treatment for special interest groups. Thanks to the conversations you inspired, several said they will contact their legislators and make their desires clear. Some of my coworkers are also NRA and/or TSRA members and none of us remembers being asked what we want as legislative priorities. Some may even mention that lwhen they contact their legislators.Charles L. Cotton wrote:We want schools to be treated differently than hospitals and shopping malls. "We" being a large majority of the Texas House and Senate, the majority of gun owners I've spoken with, the NRA, TSRA, TFC. You're the only person I've seen that didn't want protection for the students and employees.Cobra Medic wrote: You want it to be different.

Chas.
You snide remark is just silly because I do want "protection for the students and employees" but I want the same protection for doctors and nurses and medtechs and patients at hospitals, and I want the same protection for shoppers and retail clerks, and factory workers, and waiters and waitresses and diners, and everyone who can legally have a firearm. What I oppose is a law that gives special treatment for students and employees but denies equal protection under the law to the rest of us.
