Thank you Charles you deserve much of the credit for keeping things as normal as possible !
Being in a motorized wheel chair has made things difficult reaching for things.
I do not have to worry if something shows.....
I am happy for everyone , and I am a X Deputy here in Texas.
I know all of us will do the right things to show the legislators they did the right thing by passing this .

Truly surprised at the actions that just took place! Good work Charles and to everyone else who worked behind the scenes throughout this roller coaster!

Wait, seriously? We're done here?

Not a wordsmith but......

Now a quick question: Is it HB910 that postpones OC until Jan 1 2016 or can we OC in September?

I think "open carry" is 1 Jan '16, but what about the 30.06 amendment? That was different section of the Penal Code wasn't it? Or is it the entirety of what was passed delayed until 1 Jan?

What is truly amazing is that walking past a 30:06 sign unintentionally is now going to be a class C misdemeanor.

This is more valuable than open-carry, in my view. 850,000+ CHL benefit from this protection from accidentally entering posted property.

Chas.

Yes Sir, I agree with you. I also like the fact that if my shirt happens to blow up or I bend over wrong that I am not going to be breaking the law. I don't believe I will openly carry but I will feel much more relaxed knowing that it no longer matters if it is seen.

Thanks to Charles, Alice Tripp, the Senators and Reps who backed this bill...and all of you who called and let your voices be heard!!

I caught it just as the brought the resolution up, and saw the final vote on the committee report!!

The entire bill becomes effective 1 Jan 2016 as long as Governor Abbott does not us his veto power. I do believe he has already stated that he will sign it if it makes it to his desk. Well it is now on the way to his desk.

Well done Charles, et al. Thank you for your calm, and professional leadership. It takes a calm hand to navigate through the mine fields of a legislature. A Special Thanks to all legislators who Stood Up not for an Opinion......but for Our Constitution. The Second is just a part, but it sends a message that in All Areas, The United States Constitution is Not a Suggestion, but The Foundation. God Bless Texas!

Anyone else notice that 30.06 only has to be posted conspicuously while 30.07 signs have to be posted at each entrance???

Charles,
Thank you, Alice and everyone behind the scenes for all of the hard work you do for us.

Yes Charles, that is what I wanted most. I've found 30.06 signs hidden in some of the most unlikely and hard to see places. I thanked you yesterday in PM, let me thank you openly today for all your hard work for so many years on our behalf.
