TEXAS HOUSE GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO IMPRESSIVE NUMBER OF PRO SECOND AMENDMENT BILLS.
Short version:
Approved Senate Bills 299 (protection for inadvertent display of a CHL handgun) and 864 (cuts CHL classtime requirements in half) have passed the House as well and now go to Governor Perry for signature. Hooray!
SEVEN OTHER HOUSE APPROVED BILLS ARE ADVANCING TO THE SENATE! They are:
HB 508- imposes civil fines on state agencies, cities or counties which improperly post 30.06 signs prohibiting CHLs.
HB 972- combined campus carry and campus parking lot law.
HB 48- eliminates CHL continuing education course and handgun proficiency demonstration requirements for renewals.
HB 485- reduces original and renewal CHL fees for honorably discharged veterans, as well as reserve and part-time peace officers, to $25.
HB 698- improved DPS fingerprinting requirements for CHLs im rural and remote areas.
HB 1076- would prohibit any state agency or agency employee from enforcing a federal statute or regulation on firearms or firearm accessories that does not exist under Texas state law. Any agency that violated this prohibition would not be allowed to receive state grant funds for the fiscal year in which a violation occurred.
HB 1349- prohibits DPS from requesting or requiring that an applicant’s social security number be disclosed during the process of obtaining an original or renewal Concealed Handgun License. This may prove especially important to keep this information from being illegally released to media or abusive federal agencies. Lawful or not, they can't give away what they don't have.
HB 1421- allows seized firearms to be sold to FFLs.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR TEXAS STATE SENATOR AMD TELL THEM WE EXPECT THEIR SUPPORT FOR THESE BILLS!
