The really sad thing is that because of that idiot shooting ON THE STEPS of the Capitol, we, the people, can no longer carry in our Capitol. For the first time in history, they have put of metal detectors that every visitor to the Capitol has to walk through.
I have carried hundreds of time there in the past.
You’re right, I forgot about that moron screwing it up for everyone else.
That’s news to me...Did they repeal SB501 to be able to do that, or are they waiting for someone to challenge this BS???
Well, all I have to say is that they better be gone by the time the next session is called next year...
Where is our Texas Supreme Court on this absurd illegal action???
Present your CHL to the security at the metal detectors and you get to walk around them like LEOs do.
Just like at the state fair.
remember.... 30.06 is not enforceable on any property owned by the .gov, state or local, unless there is a courthouse, an election, an execution, or inside of the secure jail area.
i forgot to include everyone on the previous answer. CHL will get you a free pass around the metal detectors. You are free to carry in the capitol.
Basil,
I just read from a trusted friend of ours, who explained that visitors who have Texas CHL’s can walk into the facility (still armed) in the employee line...
I have not confirmed if the line has a big stupid sign above it saying “CHL’s Here”, but we are to swipe our CHL (plastic) and not miss a beat walking intothe facility...We will be intermixed with the employees going into that line as well, so it should difuse our license to the employees badges that have to do the same thing...
Now my biggest concern now is the how this will effecct the out of state licenses??? We have Reciprocity with a great many states, and their permits and licenses may be a little different, and may not have the swipable mag strip on the back to afford a clean pass into the state capitol...
This is a question I am going to post on the other forum as well...
