HB681/SB321 Parking Lots Bill is on the Floor

[A-R]

"we were discussing safety for children"

[joelamosobadiah]

This lady just does NOT get it does she?

[A-R]

Kleinschmidt needs to keep correcting these people by saying "this is only to keep a gun locked in your car" .... unless "the children" are INSIDE THE EMPLOYEES CAR then they will not be anywhere near a gun

[A-R]

this bill DOES NOT cover contract workers?!?!?!

As soon as this passes everyone is fired and will all be contracted to perform their duties.

[Ameer]

Based on their own words, I assume the parking lot opponents are the kind of people who leave small children alone in cars with the windows rolled up.

[speedsix]

...reasonable deduction...!!!

[A-R]

THIS GUY AGAIN?!?!?

"I don't understand ..."

GO READ THE BILL!!!

he just explained it!!!!

[A-R]

"I still don't understand why we go beyond concealed weapons"

BECAUSE OF PENAL CODE 46.02 -- GO READ PENAL CODE 46.02 and you'll be confused to learn that ANYONE legally possessing a gun in Texas can possess it in their car

Keep the updates comin'.
Everytime I try to launch RealPlayer to watch it live, my cable modem shuts down and I have to log back into it to get it to work again.

Giddy's questions appear staged. Oops, "Giddings."

[A-R]

"not the proper place to take a weapon"

"safety of our children"

"if a gun is in the parking lot it could be drawn and fired in the facility"

[mgood]

What were the questions? Can I get a play-by-play here?

[joelamosobadiah]

So you're in danger in one of these places. So much in danger you would need to fire and draw. That handgun in the hands of a lawful abiding citizen is MORE dangerous than the life-threatening condition by a non law-abiding citizen that causes the gun to be drawn?!?!?

[A-R]

Kleinschmidt moves to table the "save the children" amendment as it restricts CHL more than current law, which allows guns in parking lots of schools across the state
