(a-1) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), a license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a partially or wholly visible handgun, regardless of whether the handgun is holstered, on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally or knowingly displays the handgun in plain view of another person:

I wish Birdwell would turn it around and ask him, "so you don't trust the students that you represent?"

Point for point, Birdwell is calmly counterpunching all the bull that Ellis can offer.

Birdwell is so calm, I have always been so impressed with him, but he is hitting it out of the park today.

Re: SB11 brief update
I'm glad Whitmire isn't yelling again today. But I don't understand why he thinks that criminals committing crimes on campus should preclude the law abiding from defending themselves.

Did I hear Whitmore right? did he say he doesn't understand "God given rights"?

Whitmire apparently thinks that there is a God given right to be on someone else's property.

Re: SB11 brief update
Whitmire seems very concerned about students being able to drink without CHLs around

Re: SB11 brief update
Mr. Whitmire sounds to me like he thinks students aren't currently CHL holders, and they only drink when they're on campus??
Life is good.

Sen. West has a lovely baritone voice, and a dignified demeanor... but the weight of his arguments don't match the gravitas of his person.
