* HB 685 by Representative Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) & Senator Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio) Eliminates the Range Instruction Portion of CHL Course for Military Personnel with Handgun Training (Signed by Governor Rick Perry already)

* HB 1831 by Representative Robert Talton (R-Houston) & Senator Juan Hinojosa (D-McAllen) Exempts Certain Deferred Adjudications from Definitition of "Convicted" for CHL Eligibility

Special thanks also to House Speaker Tom Craddick and Lt. Governor David Dewhurst for their leadership on these issues, which are so important to our Second Amendment rights!

Governor Rick Perry (R) has until June 19 to sign the measures, which he has not yet already signed.

Well the Texas State government may be killing me as an educator but maybe they can redeem themselves if Idiot in Chief Perry will sign these bills.

Lordy, I miss George Bush. He governed this state 5 times better than Perry does.

Let's rally to the cause Texans!

Euch. i think the GOP is seeing the same. At least I hope so. There is a little political spanking beginning to happen. I am interested to see who the GOP actually endorses next. I certainly hope it's not Perry.
