Well HB 282 & 466 are for Austin and UT. I agree with HB 56 &110. All other ones are total crap.

I like being able to protect myself while on duty, when PD isn't around (for whatever reason). BUT, what do we do with them when we're at a fire? lock boxes in the apparatus? What about HazMat calls? What about retention? If a responder was carrying with a simple kydex OWB holster and was holding a backboard with both hands with a patient on it, there would be no way of protecting the weapon from being taken. This will also put us in the same category as LEO, which can be bad. I've been in many situations where the situation was de-escalated just by the fact that i was NOT a cop. I think for me to get behind this one 100% I'd have to see some more detail and possible restrictions. Maybe even not make it fall under the LTC laws but rather under a separate one. The way I carry with my LTC would be different than I'd carry while on duty. |

So basically HB 56 opens the 30.06 and 30.07 places up for fire and ems to carry past the signs without penalty as long as they are acting in a first responder capacity? I would think all those "buts" you listed should fall under the responsibility of whatever department you are working for at the time. I'm a volunteer firefighter for a very small dept(<20 members) and i have my 19 IWB on 90% of the calls i go on. I've never worried about having it on my side either

As such, my duties there didn't take me anywhere I couldnt normally carry with my LTC. Where I work now, on an ambulance, we commonly go to the ER (duh), nursing homes, doctors offices, government housing, and businesses that have the 30.06 & 30.07 notices. I think your idea of the departments bearing the responsibility is a good one, but with that you will get guys demanding to be "issued" weapons and or holsters that comply with their department's requirements, which i dont agree with, but can see happening. Just a big ole can 'O worms from every direction lol |

Just what we need. More laws on top of all the gazillions of existing laws. It'll make us safer, so they say...
Any word on the progress of the Constitutional Carry bill? I've seen a ton of people insisting that we "need" permits, licenses and whatnot to ensure that people don't "shoot themselves in the crotch" or some such nonsense, but I fail to see why we should be forced to pay for rights that criminals get to use for free. Constitutional Carry seems like it would roll back a host of unnecessary bureaucracy that is attached to the free exercise of the natural right to self-defense, and that is a net gain for all of us. |

I think Constitutional Carry is a waste of political capital when we have other legislative fights to make. That's going to be a lightning rod issue that'll block everything else.
My pick for things that we should focus on this session:
Incrementalism can work in our favor as well. Easier to get fixes to existing settled law than new ones that are going to be a bruising fight. |

Someone should submit a bill to repeal TPC 30.06(c)(3)(B) and define "written communication" as something that must "be physically handed to an individual" (not a posted sign).

Just a couple of quick points:
-Party affiliations in both chambers are about the same as last session with the R's holding strong majorities. -The big issue with OCTC antics last session is that they gave the D's an argument for some controls on who should be allowed to carry a gun (i.e. - "look at this OCTC idiot's antics in my office"). Constitutional carry died that day. -At the end of last session, open carry barely passed. -The political atmosphere for Constitutional carry is much stronger this year, potentially growing if messaging out of DC holds true to Trump campaign promises. -The liberal D's in Austin are going to be crying louder this year as their feelings are hurt from the shellacking they got last November. -Don't get all worked up over daily "back-and-forth" in committee and floor debates. Remember there are two things you never want to watch being made: laws and sausage! |

Got a canned reply from Dan Patrick, containing plenty of boilerplate about protecting the Second Amendment.
Sent reply explaining my position on Constitutional Carry in further detail. I'm guessing I have a 50/50 chance of receiving another hunk of boilerplate, but maybe one of his staffers will give me something to chew on. I can't imagine that there are many people actually sending emails or calling on the issue of Constitutional Carry, but I think it would be grand if more people got in on this and sent the powers that be a strong message of support for it. |
