Missed One: Teacher Firearm Training Bill

In doing my roundup of gun bills in the Texas legislature, I missed Rep. Jason Villalba (R-Dallas)’s HB 1009 to allow schools to designated one “Marshal” for every 400 students eligible to receive firearm and emergency response training. Existing CHL holders on-staff would be eligible for the training. The measure passed the House and Senate and goes to Governor Perry’s desk for signing.

Text of the bill. More here.

    Something else I missed. Technically, this isn’t a “gun” bill, but I think it still has some relevance.

    HB1862 has passed both houses and is on Governor Perry’s desk for signature. This bill will repeal the ban on switchblade knives in Texas.

    I currently run the firearms program for a large law enforcement agency in Northern California. Our officers currently have a choice between 9mm or 40 S&W in our duty weapons. And I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
