Open Carry, TX. style

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Oops my bad, HB40 is not finished. They just tabled a single amendment, not a vote for bill passage. <sigh>

 

[calaverasslim]

They keep throwing amendments, just to weaken it but keep get beaten down.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Yeah, they are still on the fracking bill. They haven't even started on HB910 (Open Carry) yet. At this rate, if they try to offer 20 amendments to HB910 like they did in the Senate with SB17, we'll be here all day.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

We are going to be here all day with amendments to HB40...

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

HB910 is up for discussion now. They are debating Nevarez's amendment (anti). First amendment offered goes down 94-42.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

Oh god, not Parliamentary Rules BS again.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Same Representative too - Martinez-Fischer.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Overruled! HB910 debate continues on. New Point of Order Raised now...

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

Oh look, another point of order. Sigh.

Oh look, another point of order. Sigh.

overrulled

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Debating Nevarez amendment now to replace the 30.06 sign with a pictogram and create a new pictogram for open carry. Threatened by the Texas Association of Business if they don't support it.

97-43 - Amendment fails.

1345 CDT and they are still coming up with points of order to stall or delay HB 910. So far they're moving it along.


1515 and they are still coming up with some stupid amendments to stall or delay. The only one I have heard that makes any sense is open, unlimited carry of knives, of any type

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Rep Canales offers an amendment to require a Level 2 retention holster to open carry.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

Lol, the concern trolling and reputation puffing on the lvl 2 holster amendment is hilarious

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Retention holster amendment fails 89-38.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Rep. Davis of Dallas offers a open carry badge amendment Goes down 88-35

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Rep Dutton offers Amendment requiring liability insurance for carrying a firearm. Goes down 88-36.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Canales Amendment allows open carry of illegal knives under 46.02. Goes down 72-53.

(This was tabled so that the House bill will remain the same as the Senate bill and not get sent to conference committee where it might die off - which is likely why the Rep in question made the offer).

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Rep. Johnston - Amendment for local control of Open Carry for cities above a certain size

 

[xxjumbojimboxx]

amendment up to allow individual cities to choose whether to allow OC or not. THIS one needs tabling.. I live in austin.

 

[xxjumbojimboxx]

Do we know how many amendments are up?

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Amendment to the Johnson Amendment to lower population for local control to 750k so that Austin can also ban open carry. Offered by Rodriguez of Austin.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Rodriguez says nobody from Austin has called his office in support of Open Carry jumbojimbo! You must be slipping...
