I know he has plenty of power but at least in theory, he should not be able to block HB910 from moving in the Senate. Some on here have questioned why political capital is needed if Republicans hold majorities. Maybe this is why, I guess he could hold other bills hostage if this one moves in the Senate.

I also said "egos". It's not just Straus. I think we have some middle age children running the show.

Yes, I saw that one and I didn't have any comment on that.

We shouldn't pin it 100% on Straus if he isn't 100% the cause.

The House parliamentarian has already ruled that campus-carry is relevant to HB910. If a point-of-order is raised in the Senate, then it can be sustained or overruled. If it's sustained, then campus-carry will not be added to HB910. If it is overruled, campus-carry will be added to HB910 and it will go to the House.

If the House concurs, then both open-carry and campus-carry pass and go to the Governor. If the House does not concur, then it goes to a conference committee where campus-carry can be stripped from HB910.
