The acting Speaker (wasn't Strauss) referred Dutton to have a side discussion with the Parliamentarian. The video feed doesn't cover those.

"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."

This would be so sweet if true. Even though the vehicle would be a House bill, Patrick could claim all the credit for blocking the logjam and finding a way to get campus carry to the House floor. Do it!

I posted on another thread that Dutton was on the floor of the House yesterday raising a lot of parliamentary inquiries about germaneness rulings on House bills that were returned amended from the Senate. That was an issue in our earlier discussion of this strategy (i.e. is campus carry germane to open carry - House parliamentarian previously ruled it was). I'm not sure if Dutton knew something was up and was laying out a plan to block this or what. I just found it interesting that he was asking those questions.

This almost sounds too good to be true. What's the catch? Germaneness? Democrats throw a hissy fit and run to Oklahoma again?
