What was the reason or plan after stripping it in committee?Charles L. Cotton wrote:There's a reason it was stripped out in committee and Huffines is rendering that plan moot. Additionally, we now have Sen. Whitmire and Sen. Huffman indicating that LEOs can stop and interview solely because they are wearing a handgun openly. Thanks Sen. Huffines.mojo84 wrote:I was just trying to find out of it would help 910 get out of the senate and to Abbott quicker like some are implying. I don't think it has much practical benefit once passed.Charles L. Cotton wrote:At the end of the day, it will not impact how LEO's do their job. The 5th Circuit has not adopted the black decision, but it may in the future. Whether it does or not, all an officer needs is something in addition to the open-carry of a firearm in order to interview the subject and ask for ID and CHL. So the impact of the Dutton amendment will be minimal.mojo84 wrote:Dutton amendment beneficial expediting 910.Charles L.

And I'll bet that's going over real well with authors of the other bills on the calendar, eh?SewTexas wrote:v7a wrote:Is there really no time limit on how long a Senator can rant?
I think we're witnessing some sort of a filibuster?
He can't debate worth a darn. I can't see how one on our side would feel this way.SewTexas wrote:I find that my admiration for Huffines is increasing moment by moment
Was thinking this a long time ago.Salty1 wrote:I have a bad feeling that Huffine's amendment may be the death of the OC Bill. I seriously wish he would withdraw the amendment before unintended consequences happen......
I agree, we didn't need this in the first place. Unfortunately, now the horse is out of the barn, and Whitmire is wasting time. Because of the existing law to which this amendment is redundant, all of Whitmire's "concerns" would still be in place without this amendment. So his entire tirade is irrelevant and unnecessary.Charles L. Cotton wrote: There's a reason it was stripped out in committee and Huffines is rendering that plan moot. Additionally, we now have Sen.
