Campus Carry Holdup

[safety1]

Yes, if the house passes the Senate's campus carry bill, Greg gets to sign it. If the Senate passes the House's open carry bill, Greg gets to sign it. If either chamber amends the bills, then there would need to be a concurrence vote, and if the chambers cant concur then there would be a conference committee formed to hammer out the differences -- if I understand everything correctly.

If amended the "clock" becomes an issue to my understanding...a big issue.

This isn't necessarily true. If the author is willing to concur in the opposite chamber's amendments and if a majority of the originating chamber is willing to concur in the amendments, concurrence is pretty simple. In fact, the House and Senate have an entire day when they do nothing but concur in opposite-chamber amendments. Concurrence votes don't have to be scheduled, can't be debated, only have to be voted on once, and require only a simple majority to pass.

The clock only becomes a major issue if the author disagrees with the amendments and requests a conference committee or if the changes don't have majority support in the originating chamber.

Yes, you are correct. I was referring to "if" they have to go to a conference committee. I understand a concurrence vote would not be a time concern, thanks for pointing that out. I should have detailed that in my statement.

“If you’re in a heated debate with somebody in the middle of a classroom, and you don’t know whether or not that individual is carrying, how does that inhibit the interaction between students and faculty?” McRaven said at a Texas Tribune event in February.

That is the one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. You don't know if someone is already carrying or will comeback and take everyone out because they got their feelings hurt.

The only action it should inhibit is between students and criminals.
