Restaurant Carry Reform Measure to be Heard in Committee Tomorrow!

Please Contact the Members of the
House Finance, Ways, and Means Budget Sub-Committee!



Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, March 24, the House Finance, Ways, and Means Budget Sub-Committee will hear House Bill 3125.

HB3125, with an NRA-backed amendment, would enable a person who has a valid Right-to-Carry permit to carry a firearm for self-defense into restaurants where alcohol may be served, as long as the permit holder is not consuming alcohol or is not otherwise prohibited by posting provisions. Introduced by State Representative Curry Todd (R-95), HB3125 was filed in response to a court ruling last November. The current law was held to be unconstitutionally vague because of a perceived ambiguity over the state's definition of restaurants. This bill, with the NRA-backed amendment, will fix any ambiguity.


Please contact members of the House Finance, Ways, and Means Budget Sub-Committee IMMEDIATELY and respectfully urge them to vote for HB3125 with the NRA-backed amendment. Contact information for the committee can be found below.

Sent email to all of them:

Rep. ____________:

I write today respectfully requesting that you vote for HB3125 on March 24th. This bill is very important to those of us who value and protect our right to keep and bear arms. This bill is not, as many would have you believe, about "guns and alcohol" or "guns in bars." It is about honest, law-abiding citizens being able to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Those who do not obey the law will not care one way or the other what you do with this bill. However, we who respect and follow the law do not need to be placed in the position of choosing between protection of ourselves and loved ones or violating the law. Passage of this bill prevents that, and honors your committment to serve the law-abiding citizens of this great state--a committment I know you take very seriously.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and your consideration of my position. Please do the right thing by those of us who take our obligations and responsibilities so very seriously and vote for this bill.

Sincerely,

[falcon1]

I just received the email alert, and I went ahead and called each of their offices, since the hearing is today. Call, email, whatever, but flood them with contacts!

I've found him to be both rude & uncouth.

I tried to be courteous to him in the courthouse hallways at the time of the hearing before Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman,
he literally snarled something unintelligble & turned the other way when he got close enough to see the TFA logo on my shirt.

Nikki Goeser sat down next to me a few minutes later, & related how rude she thought he was: he'd actually yelled at her in the hallways.

Out for his own interests, & nothing else, in my opinion.

Rayburn owns Sunset Grill, Midtown Cafe and Cabana.

Sadly, Rayburn seems to be one prone to unprovoked tantrums.
