Governor Perry signed SB321, “Relating to an employee’s transportation and storage of certain firearms or ammunition while on certain property owned or controlled by the employee’s employer” (aka the “guns in parking lots” bill) into law yesterday.
(At least, we think that was yesterday. While we are still having the most fun it is legally possible to have with one’s clothes on, we’ve also managed to lose track of time.)
We are amused by how little press coverage this has received. Once the bill passed both houses, we do not recall seeing it mentioned even once; we don’t even remember seeing newspaper coverage of the passage. Consider this article from the Statesman which discusses Perry’s vetos, but makes little mention of the bills he actually signed.
Curious.
(Also, the Shade-Tovo runoff election is today. We’ll try to get you a final update tomorrow morning.)
