Many great bills in there this year that we should support, and some very bad bills that we need to fight. Just to list a few good bills:
- SB 1106: Lifetime CCW Permit bill (up from the current 5 year expiration length)
- HB 2536: Parking lot bill
- HB 2389: Decriminalizes carrying a concealed weapon anywhere in a vehicle w/out a permit
- SB 1132: Gives restaurants that serve alcohol option to allow weapons (Last attempt at an even better version was Vetoed by Janet Napolitano)
- HB 2628 & SB 1214: Decriminalizes carrying a weapon on school grounds if you have a CCW permit.
A lifetime CCW would be nice. In Texas, you have to spend money every 4 years. But then again, they should all adopt the Vermont model, no permits necessary.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Our current legislature might even be able to pass such a measure, but our current liberal Governor would certainly veto it. She loves to veto bills that decriminalize the bearing of arms without a permit, and on her veto letter she always writes "If you want to carry a gun, get a permit"
ReplyDeleteYep. Some good bills. Any ideas on who might replace Tim Bee if he can beat Giffords for Kolbe's old seat in the House?
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to see him leave the state legislature. On the other hand we need someone good to kick Giffords ass.
I actually live in District 2 so I don't follow District 8 much, but I agree that any time we can replace a liberal representative like Giffords with a conservative representative like Bee, especially because Bee supports the 2nd Amendment & helped fight for the Castle Doctrine bill that passed, I say go for it!
