Lobbyists turn to gun permits to skip lines at Capitol
AUSTIN — To avoid getting delayed behind noisy schoolkids waiting in line to pass through new metal detectors at the state Capitol, lobbyists are signing up for concealed handgun permits exempting them from the security checkpoints.
Visitors to the Capitol also now are subject to inspections of purses, bags and briefcases by Department of Public Safety officers.
