Committee sends gun bill to House for consideration )f
□ There were almost 40
changes to the bill in
cluding restrictions on
carrying weapons into
hospitals and the bar
area of a restaurant.
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."

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.
Other lawmakers also hare
vowed to try to change the bill,

he would seekti
make the measure
contingent upon
voter approval.
But Patterson rejected the
idea of a voter referendum
saying he didn’t think there is
enough support in the Housete
approve the idea.
“You don’t have a referee
dum on constitutional rights,
he said.

Just think of Easter as God
meeting our need for proof.
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.
Easter. Its proof positive.
