Guns in church

Senate Bill 535 allows Texans to carry guns in churches, synagogues and other places of worship unless the church wants to prohibit firearms with signage.

Gun owners who rent

House Bill 302 prevents landlords from restricting tenants and their guests from carrying firearms in lease agreements.

Senate Bill 741 prevents property owners’ associations from banning storage of guns on rental properties.

Guns at school

House Bill 1387 eases restrictions on the number of school marshals who carry guns at public and private schools. Current law only allows one armed marshal per 200 students or per building.

House Bill 1143 bars school districts from restricting the manner in which handgun license holders store guns and ammunition in their vehicles in parking areas, other than requiring it to be out of sight.

Foster homes

House Bill 2363 allows certain foster homes to store guns and ammunition, as long as they are locked up.

Carrying during disasters

House Bill 1177 allows Texans to carry handguns without a license while evacuating or returning from a declared disaster area.

A defense for licensed gun owners

House Bill 121 provides a defense for licensed handgun owners who unknowingly enter an establishment that prohibits firearms as long as they leave when asked.

2. THAT list..............

I hope the people that sat in the room and made it are enjoying their "bonus checks" from the NRA - they'll have to hope they're on some tropical island enjoying their break when the next NRA sponsored "event" happens.

4. Rev Al had just reported on the new Texas gun law that allowed them in church

When they switched to breaking news of today's mass shooting in Texas.

6. The guns at church law

was passed as a response to the mass murders at Sutherland Springs Baptist Church (near San Antonio) that occurred a couple years ago.

7. I understand. And we have had recent shootings in churches and synagogues

But then they broke into Rev Al's show soon after that to report breaking news of yet another mass shooting in Texas.
