Explain to me what is standing in the way of CCW on campus bill in Texas

[lawodevolution]

It passed the senate
More than half of the house is co sponsoring the bill
Rick perry will sign it

So? Anyone?

[armueller2001]

1. Yeah

Our village idiot that keeps posting duplicate, pointless threads

[petronius]

2. It's not impossible that a sub-committee of a student senate somewhere will write a vague

and ill-informed resolution condemning the idea and prophesying doom, which will trigger hours of spirited debate among the ~20 or so people who attend student senate meetings... which might - just might - cause the TX Legislature to laugh so hard that they forget to actually pass the bill.

Does that seem like a reasonable possibility? :shrug:

3. Jesus, Buddha and The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come

:evilgrin:

[Euromutt]

10. Oh, you mean a bunch of fictional characters are against it?

If you put it that way, where do I sign up?

(Do I really need to use this: :sarcasm: ?)

[msongs]

4. they want to make sure that all elementary school kids will get their guns? nt

[PavePusher]

5. You never get tired of the Strawman(tm), do you? n/t

[Blown330]

When it's all they have left...

...they cling to it for all it's worth.

14. Even those elementary school kids realize

what a stupid post this is.

[Hoyt]

6. Maybe commonsense has emerged. But, I doubt Tx lawmakers have the guts to take on carriers.

The whine would be disruptive.

7. It's in committee..

Takes a while for them to make sure the proposed legislation doesn't conflict with anything else (remember the legal limbo re 'traveling' in 2005?)

http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HB1167

And to tell the truth, multiple legislators have introduced multiple versions.

The committee is going to have fun with these.

[Hoyt]

8. Let's hope it stalls there, and gun dealers have to eat their long-horn designer handles.

Wonder if Ralph Lauren is designing Polo handles for the well accesorized student of the 21st century.

[armueller2001]

9. Doesn't make much sense accesorizing

something to be fashionable if it is going to be concealed under clothing.

[X_Digger]

11. Not gonna happen.

The parking lot bill and campus carry are as close as anything in Texas politics gets to a 'sure thing'.

[Hoyt]

12. Who knows, maybe some toter with dual shoulder holsters will offend a key legislator's daughter.

[X_Digger]

13. Half the house signed on as co-sponsors. Fat chance. n/t

[Katya Mullethov]

16. That could cause an immediate paradigm shift in the political landscape

Offending a key legislators daughter , good God no . Millions of people could change their opinions in an afternoon .
It could be worse than shooting a soon-to-be political rock star " and some other people " . Could be , as
it had little to do with anybody else , and so nobody really gives a fuck, and in fact quite the opposite happened .
Freedoms were restored . That must suck .

15. Student as in 21yo adult.

Won't stall, it's gonna pass.
