Scott Henson updates on the vehicle packing bill I talked about earlier.
It’s pending in committee, so call your rep if they’re on the committee to tell them you support it. Around here it looks like Terri Hodge, Mary Denny and Elvira Reyna.
You’ll be happy to hear, Scott, that I suggested language in my testimony on behalf of ACLU of TX to re-broaden it, and Keel agreed to it. (I think the NRA gal there was as surprised as she was happy.)
After all, if the ACLU and the NRA are in agreeance, can it possibly be bad???
Thanks for the update, Scotty.
MORE UPDATE: Big update from Scott. He makes it almost sound fun to be a lobbyist talking to politicians. It probably is when it’s about something you believe in.

I think that the ACLU and the NRA agreeing on anything is one of the signs of the apocalypse. I’m pretty sure that comes just before the plagues.. or pestilence.. I can never keep those straight.
The bill, BTW, passed out of committee yesterday. Next it’ll go to the full House, so now it’s okay for everybody to contact their state representative to support the bill. (It’s sort of protocol you dont’ contact EVERYBODY until the bill is out of committee.)
To find out who your rep is and their contact info type your address into this search function:

Incidentally, ACLU and NRA were on the same side of a couple of bills last session, too, so I guess the signs of the apocalypse have been showing up for some time. Best,
