Texas government moves more towards civilization

[fastpat]

This was the first week for State Senators and Representatives to prefile bills for the 2007 session of the Texas Legislature. Several TSRA-backed legislative initiatives have officially been filed and assigned bill numbers: HB 284 by Rep. Joe Driver (R-Garland), is the Texas version of Florida's "Castle Doctrine" and self-defense reform bill; SB 112 & HB 258 by Sen. John Carona (R-Dallas) & Rep. Frank Corte (R-San Antonio) would prevent the confiscation of legally possessed firearms by law-abiding citizens during a state of emergency or natural disaster. And HB 220 by Rep. Phil King (R-Weatherford) would allow Concealed Handgun Licensees (CHLs) to store handguns in locked vehicles while parked on their employer's property. Please begin contacting your State Senators and Representatives and urging them to support these important measures! Legislators' contact information and the text of the bills listed above can be found at http://www.house.state.tx.us/bills/welcome.php
More TSRA-supported legislation is expected to be prefiled in the coming weeks - we'll keep you posted!

Too bad none of this would fly in Brady-la-la-land Illinois.
