House approves gun bill

From Staff Reports


AUSTIN - A bill to strip cities of authority to ban concealed handgun licensees from bringing their weapons into government buildings and other public places was passed by the House on Friday.

Authored by Sen. Ken Armbrister, D-Victoria, the bill could be a defense to prosecution for licensed carriers charged with violating "No firearms" signs posted by cities on public facilities such as libraries and police stations.

Rep. Suzanna Hupp, R-Lampasas, the House sponsor, said licensed carriers are vulnerable to criminal prosecution now because regulations dealing with where they can or cannot bring their weapons vary across the state.

"They can still be arrested. They can still be prosecuted. This is a defense to that prosecution," she said.

Ms. Hupp said that cities are using a "loophole" in the law to regulate handguns, and that the authority to say what places are off-limits rests solely with the Legislature.

Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, argued vigorously but without success against the bill, saying it "circumvents local control."

"It's bad policy. I believe somewhere down the road it will come back to haunt us," he said.

The bill was opposed in committee by Texas Municipal League and its 1,000 member cities.

    U.S. deficit sets October record of $176.4 billion
    The U.S. government deficit hit a record for October as the new budget year began where the old one ended, with the government awash in red ink. No wonder Obama is flying all over the world now to apologize to the world and beg China to loan us more money for him to spend


    Obama team reaches out to airline industry and now he wants to f ck up the airlines under gov control[:(!][xx(][:(][V]

    Mrs Rogue is getting promoted!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOOOOOO!!!!



    She is getting her Staff Sergeant E-6. It's hard to make that rank sometimes in the Guard because someone has to vacate a slot before someone else can take it....

    Anyways, she's not going to get pinned til she gets here for her mid tour. (she wants ME to pin her so she's not going to wear the rank yet but she gets paid for it lol)

    TEEN SHOOTS ILLEGALS thanks FOX NEWS BUTTE, MONTANA Shotgun preteen vs. Illegal alien Home Invaders... Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11-year-old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home. It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay-shooting champion since she was nine. Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12-gauge shotgun. Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee-crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45-caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David 0'Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest. Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news........? An 11 year old girl, properly trained, defended her home, and herself......against two murderous, illegal immigrants.......and she wins, She is still alive. Now THAT is Gun Control! Thought for the day.... Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'. I like this kind of e-mail! American citizens defending themselves and their homes. IF YOU'RE A TRUE AMERICAN PASS THIS ON, IF YOU'RE AGAINST PROTECTING OUR BORDERS DELETE THIS MESSAGE
