Just an update...
The House Bill has been out of committee for a while and some technical editing is complete. It should come up for a Texas House voted next week. Only 75 of the 150 representatives have gone on record in favor of this, and the co-sponsors removed themselves when public sentiment turned against them.
Meanwhile an "identical" bill has been introduced in the Texas Senate.
Also, this does not pertain to privately run schools. The bill allows them to opt out and continue whatever prohibitions it likes. however, it not only includes "firearms", but a knives and clubs. urrently you can be arrested for having a baseball bat on campus unless you can prove you are on a baseball team. Does that explain why such a bill was even considered. The present law is extremely flawed, but this isn't any better.
Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.
