Texas riders and second ammendment rights

[bcdudley]

I know I am new here and I should probably wait before posting something like this, but I have been active on other ATV forums for a long time. Maybe that will count for something.

HB25 (Guillen) and HB77 (Flynn):

Both bills allow eligible, law-abiding Texans to have a handgun in their boat, and to go directly to and directly from their boat, and all without a concealed handgun license. Both HB 77 and HB 25 make changes to Penal Code 46.02.

I am writing to both of the authors of the bills as well as my State Senator and Representative and urging them to add ATV's and other OHV's to this bill. I don't know how far it will go, but the more people that write in, the better chance there is.

Please support me in this endeavor. I think it would be great to flood the email boxes of our politicians with emails regarding this. I am attaching the letter I emailed to the politicians. Please feel free to copy it, but please amend it so it does not include my personal experience. Perhaps you could add one of your own.

Thank you.

Great. I carry my piston in my rack bag every ride. I do have a concealed handgun license (I think everyone should get one).

I applied for my chl about a month and a half ago. It just went to pending print today, so I should have it in a couple of weeks, but I still think ATV's should be covered by the motorist protection act. Just like the pirates killed that guy on a jet ski last year, they could easily do the same thing to an atv'r.

I always carry a handgun when i ride, but last week i got my carry permit so i can carry were ever i go. Everyone should be able to get a carry permit if they want one, (as long as you don`t have a criminal back ground) i bet the crime rate would go down over night.

Car jackings fell 33% in the first year when Texas passed the law for concealed carry!

I got letters back from both Guillen and Flynn over the weekend. Both said they would consider adding it into their bills, but I have a feeling they need lots more urging. Please send them an email and let them know that you support their current bill as well as support them adding a provision for ATV's and OHV's.

It will only take a few minutes to stand up for your rights.
