AUSTIN (AP) — A bill that would allow Texans to obtain licenses to carry concealed handguns has moved one step closer to becoming law. The House Public §afety Committee voted 7-1 Tuesday to forward the bill to the full House for consideration. The Senate approved the measure last month, and Gov. George W. Bush has said he would sign it. “People are really concerned that they want to be able to have this basic right if they want to go through the process to get a license,” said Rep. Bill Carter, R-Fort Worth, co-spon sor of the bill. “Those people who are truly law-abiding citizens, who are con cerned about public safety, those are the people who will go out and go through the process and spend the money and the time to get a license,” Carter said. Eligible applicants would have to be legal Texas residents; at least 21 years old; never have been convicted of a felony; have not been delinquent in making a child support payment; and not be chemically dependent or of unsound mind. They also would have to un dergo 10 to 15 hours of training and pass a proficiency exam. A four-year permit would cost $140. The House committee made about 40 changes to the bill, most of which are minor. They include revising a provision concerning open records and prohibiting perm it holders from carrying guns into the bar area of a restaurant. The committee also added hospitals to a list of places where carrying guns would be prohibited. Sen. Jerry Patterson, R- Pasadena, the bill’s author, said he supported all of the changes except the restriction on hospitals. “I do not like prohibited loca tions of any kind,” Patterson said. “It just gives an opportuni- "You don't have a referendum on constitutional rights." —Jerry Patterson, Sen., R- Pasadena ty for criminals to know where to hang out to ensure the people that go there are unarmed.” The full House is expected to take up the bill within the next two weeks, and the measure is sure to face a tougher time than it did in committee. Rep. Vilma Luna, D-Corpm Christi, who cast the dissentici vote, said she would tryti amend the bill on the floor toit crease the number of require! training hours to 40. She also wants the bill tore- quire that part of those hows are spent on safety instruction.

God has never backed the idea of “blind faith.” He wants us to have factual reasons to believe in him. Good evidence is important because Jesus never identified himself simply as a great moral teacher or as a prophet, but as God himself We’d like to show you the reasons that people for centuries have concluded that Jesus really is God and wants to have a relationship with us.
