Re: FBI bulletin to all Texas Law Enforcement Agencies

I just heard the same thing from another source. I ride a Harley, wear a cut, and I'm a member of a riding group (with a patch, but not a bottom rocker-not an official MC). I carry everywhere it's legal for us CHL holders and this has me a bit worried. Even though I know I'm good based on the law, b...

Re: Rethinking 30.06

I get both sides of the arguments--rights of individuals vs. the rights of private property owners. But I tend to agree with the OP's perspective here. There are very few rights specifically outlined in the Constitution that unequivocally define a permissible act such as the right to bear arms. With...

Re: Effective Notice question

I've been watching this thread with some curiosity. However, I have a similar scenario to describe. Instead of something small like a movie ticket, what if a business handed you a pamphlet of some sort--one with lets say twenty or thirty pages. Somewhere in the pamphlet is a 30.06 notice. I can unde...

Carry at the Dallas Gun show this weekend.

I'm planning on dropping by the gun and knife show this weekend in Dallas; hosted by Dallas Arms. Can someone who as attended in the past comment on how they handle CHL holders?

Re: Joining the Waiting Room

The wally walk went off without a glitch... Wallmart OfficeMax Dinner with the family TomTumb and finally... Acadamy. It felt good to be armed and fully capable to defend myself, my family, or others if needed. I've carried a weapon before; however, never concealed. My only concern was that someone ...

Re: Joining the Waiting Room

Received the plastic today!!! 35 days mailbox to mailbox!!! I was checking the mail all week since DPS showed it mailed last Sunday. However, everyone should note "Mailed" doesn't always mean it's in the mail. That being said, I think DPS is doing a great job working through the applicatio...

Re: Joining the Waiting Room

Updated to "Mailed" this morning--Sunday 2/24/2013... I'm hoping it actually mailed on Saturday giving me a chance to have it in hand by mid-week!!! Now to figure out how to spend my time instead of checking the DPS website. One thing for sure, I'll never forget my DL number now!!! :) 1/6/...

Re: january apps

Status changed to MAILED this morning. Not that it will actually mail on a Sunday but I'm still excited! Same here!!! I'm hoping it got in the mail on Saturday and the system just updated on Sunday. If that's the case, it's possible we might have plastic-in-hand by Tuesday or Wednesday!!! :thewave ...

Re: Feb apps delayed?

It does seem really random--at least from what I've been seeing.

I snail-mailed on 1/25 and as of today I'm already at the "Manufacturing Pending" stage!!! --Less than a month!!!

Re: Daycare and Pre-Schools

Daycare's are not schools. Pre-school is also not a school. There is not case law that defines exactly what a school is, but it is generally believed to be a public school that is accredited by the Texas Education Agency or a private school that is ceritifed by the Texas Private School Accreditatio...
