HB3660 has been introduced by McCormick, (SB3451 by Sutherland) is on the schedule to be heard in the House Consumer and Employee Affairs sub committee on Wednesday, March 8th. THIS IS A BAD BILL. It has big business written ALL over it. If your employer has a fenced, gated lot with an attendee at the gate checking IDs, you can forget it. They will be exempt. Also with that exemption, there is no requirement for them to provide secure storage for your weapon, so again, you can forget it. It has tons of protections for the employer but is not much more than a token bill.

We all know what is happening here. Speaker Harwell and Rep McCormick, (in business's pocket) have been opposed to helping us on a parking lot bill for the last two years. The ONLY reason they are making this "gesture" is because they are beginning to feel the heat. This is nothing more than throwing the dog a bone. This is a worthless bill and they KNOW it. They KNOW we will not like it and THEN they can say they offered us a bill but we rejected it.

Again THIS IS A BAD BILL. We CAN NOT let it usurp SB3002 by Faulk and HB3560 by Bass. STAY THE COURSE.

Sent to my Senator and Representative and the members of the Consumer and Employee Affairs sub committee:

These two bills are an attempt to divert attention from and kill the bills known as the Safe Commute Bills by Faulk and Bass. HB3660 and SB3451 REAK of corporate influence peddaling. They are BAD BILLS and need to fail.
I OPPOSE these bills and ask you to do the same. The House bill is scheduled to be heard on March 7th in the Consumer and Employee Affairs sub committee. If asked to become a co-sponsor of either of these bills, please REFUSE!
I continue to ask for your support of the Safe Commute bills by Mike Faulk in the Senate and Eddie Bass in the House.

I was told last evening to expect an amendment to to 3660 that will re-write the bill. Seems that Leadership wants to have their stamp on whatever gets passed, (IF anything gets passed) not that of a Democrat as sponsor in the House. Not sure who was involved in the negotiations of the amendment, but for sure know who was not, that being the TFA or NRA.

Again, we stand like thralls at the door, awaiting news, either good or ill to be handed down from our Rulers after their deliberations on our behalf.

Guys, all these "bills" are nothing but infringements on our right to keep and bear arms. They do nothing to allow us to be armed and able to protect ourselves while traveling. They do nothing to allow us to be armed and able to protect ourselves while we are working.

Take school shootings for instance....only Israel has it right: decades ago they ARMED the whole school staffs and instituted ARMED parental PATROLS of Israeli schools..to deter attacks...and lo and behold it has worked. Many more kids shot to death in US schools in the last 30 years than in Israeli schools..and Israel is surrounded on all sides by armed muslim terrorist states.

shame on the anti-gunners.
