Y'all could have seen my smile from Texas when I read this great news. I am so happy for all my brothers and sisters stuck in the PRM. I hope this is just a first step on undoing all the foolishness of FSA 2013.
Listening in from Texas with fingers crossed for my MD brothers and sisters. Been a bit since I heard so much BS spewed by the State of Maryland and I don't miss it much.
Some of my fondest memories of working for gun rights in Maryland are of the hours spent at the MSI booth at a gun show. Talking with gun owners about gun rights in a building full of guns? Can it get any better?
God bless you, sir!
Curious as to the market for Maryland permits in Texas. Hard enough to talk some folks into the minimal troubles of getting a Texas LTC since we've gone permitless.
It has been a few years since I had the pleasure of working the MSI table at a Maryland gun show. If you have never done so, you are in for a fun time. Talking to gun owners at a gun show about one of the top gun rights groups in the state isn't "working." With the recent SCOTUS decision, you...
You are quite welcome. I will add that the names carried by the various signs, 30.06, 30.07, and 30.05, refer to the section of the penal code which gives them force of law. Never underestimate the power of a legicritter to mess with your rights.
Here in Texas, property owners have a choice of several restrictions on carry. One, the 30.06 sign, prohibits concealed carry by a license holder. A 30.07 sign prohibits Open Carry but allows concealed. A 30.05 sign prohibits unlicensed or permitless carry.
One problem we have faced is anti-gun...
Just dropping in from Texas to wish all the best to my Maryland brothers and sisters on this momentous occasion. Will hoist a cold Shiner in celebration.
Thrilled to see so many steps being taken to reclaim our firearms rights here.
Not so thrilled to watch a bunch of RINO Butters like those seated at the table posing like it was all their doings which brought Texas to where she is today.
Abbott did the "Official" signing today and will still hold a celebratory ceremony at the Alamo tomorrow. The public will not be admitted and the invitations to some of the 2A groups here seem to have been "lost in the mail." Pretty sure that Texas State Rifle Association will be represented by...
And Lt. Dan chimes in:
"AUSTIN – Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued this statement today announcing that a full agreement has been reached on House Bill 1927:
“I congratulate Rep. Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, and Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, for reaching a full agreement on Constitutional Carry...
And a bit premature, as it still needs to be voted on in both chambers, but very positive statement from Senator Charles Schwertner, chair of the Senate side of the conference committee:
"Texas has fulfilled the promise of our founding documents by finally restoring the right of law-abiding...
The good side of the Senate choices is that Nelson and Huffman, the two biggest (R) squishes when it comes to actually standing up for gun rights, did not get on the committee. The bad news is the two strongest fighters for 2A also did not get on the committee. Time to give my Sheriff a call to...
It’s a last minute reprieve but a conference committee looks to be our best hope. Heading back to Austin after I finish my coffee to hand deliver a letter to each Senator’s office asking/telling them to get it done. Have a special missive ready for Lt. Dan, playing to his vanity and hubris.
Rachel is joined in her concerns by the author of the House bill, Texas Representative Matt Schaefer. Things are being played close to the vest to avoid tipping off a game plan to the antis (Yes, there is an active infestation of that sort even in Texas.)
Action plan at this time is for an...
