OCT opens with "We support property rights and we COULD support Nevarez's bill IF he removes the penalty." OCT then says that they have met with Representative Nevarez and have offered to support his bill if he removes the penalty. but then they say "However, Nevarez isn't concerned about private property rights; he's more interested in putting gun owners in jail. This is a means to his ends. He's not fooling us." If they know his goals and claim that he isn't fooling them, then why on earth would they support his bill with one minor change?
OCT then claims "If businesses want to ban guns from their premises, they shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do it." Which is the reason we need a well defined law that is very specific in it's requirements, but if OCT really is a pro-gun organization why do they want to make it easier to ban guns? If HB910 or SB17 passes in their current form along with HB2405 Open Carry would enjoy the protection of a specific sign while concealed carry would be easily banned by businesses who would probably think they were banning Open Carry. OCT also says "We don't need another law making it a crime to walk past a piece of paper." Which I agree with, Penal Code 30.06 protects us from that while HB2405 would subject us to it.
OCT finishes the facebook post with "Let businesses have whatever "no guns" sign they want." So there you have it, OCT the pro-gun or is it pro-gun-control group tossing their support behind making it easier to ban guns.
