MD Oct 1 vs TX Sep 1

[TxAggie]

So we all know the crap coming our way I. A month, and have heard new restrictions being attempted by The One, all of which making us feel like the entire country is against us.

So just for a Friday pick-me-up, may I present a new round of laws taking effect next week in Texas.

Don't mess with Texas as they love guns there. Oh-Mau-Li the weak kneed traitor would rather us bring Skittles to a confrontation.

And with no state tax, Texas is definitely a good look right now.

I made a separate post before I saw this one. My bad.

Below are the Texas passed bills effective tomorrow. Just a few I thought you might like to see.

SB 299 Inadvertent display protects against charges of unlawful carry for the inadvertent or accidental display of a handgun by a Concealed Handgun Licensee (CHL). (Effective 9/1/13)


SB 864 CHL Instruction Time reduces the minimum number of required classroom training for original and renewal CHLs from 10-15 to 4-6 hours. A long overdue revision as the original 10-15 hours was set before the course material was written. The revision is more than adequate time to cover all the required material with CHL applicants. (Effective 9/1/13)
​

SB 1907 Firearms in Cars prohibits public and private colleges and universities from adopting or enforcing policies restricting the possession, transportation and storage of any lawfully-owned firearms and ammunition by CHLs in their locked, privately-owned motor vehicles while driving through or parking on campus. (Effective 9/1/13)
​

HB 48 CHL No Class Renewals streamlines the process for renewal of a CHL by eliminating the continuing education requirement and handgun proficiency demonstration. Applicants would still be required to renew their licenses every five years, but they would be provided with an informational form regarding pertinent firearms and deadly force laws, which would have to be signed and turned in with the CHL renewal application. Renewal applications can be submitted on the Internet. (Effective 9/1/13)
​

HB 333 Firearms in Hotelsrequires hotels which restrict the possession, storage or transportation of firearms to notify guests of such policies on their websites or when confirming reservations. (Effective 9/1/13)
​

HB 485 CHL Renewal Feesreduces fees for original/renewal CHL charged to veterans who are honorably discharged after at least one year of military service, reserve and part-time peace officers, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) correctional officers and members of the Texas Military Forces from $70 to $35, respectively, to $25. (Effective 9/1/13)
​

HB 3142 CHL Handgun Category Removed repeals both the requirement that CHL applicants demonstrate proficiency with a specific category of handgun (semi-automatic or non-semi-automatic) and the limitation on CHLs carrying the category of handgun with which they qualified. (Effective Immediately)
