California CWP holders actually have very few restrictions compared to Texas. No 51% so carry in bars is fine, no 30-06 so businesses don't put up signs to keep carriers out. I have honestly seen more "no sunglasses" signs than "no guns" signs in California businesses. An employe...

I have never been a huge CTD fan and $90 bricks of bulk .22 only cemented my view of them as being an "adversarial retailer" (where getting a fair deal is a struggle), but.... 1) Crediting back cards typically takes a few days. Go buy something from Cabelas, Fry's, or wherever, and return ...

If you are willing to wear a belt you can carry just about anything. E.g. last Saturday I wore drawstring athletic shorts and a vented-back "river shirt". Around my hips (but not connected to my shorts) I had a gun belt with a Simply Rugged Cuda worn IWB to hold a G22. It was fine. I drove...

Hah...probably true. I would say that's an explanation of why the carrier's load bearing system (belt, draw string, or whatever) wasn't up to the task, not a completely different theory. :)

Everyone makes his own decisions and then lives with the outcomes. Yep, which is why I tried to bypass the holsterless/exposed trigger safety argument (which is inexorably tied to personal tolerances and perception). It is like motorcycle riding...millions do it, millions of others think doing it i...

Carrying with an uncovered trigger guard is not just asking for trouble - it's begging for it. And yet it has been common practice for decades. E.g. FBI agents, back in the revolver days, often carried DA revolvers with clips that mounted under the stock plate on one side. I think S&W still sel...

Many companies make clips that mount to the gun and go over a waistband or belt to hold the gun - holsterless - in place. My P3AT has such a clip, as does my Glock 22. The P3AT can be worn in drawstring exercise shorts and works fine/doesn't drag (I won't argue safe/not safe since there is an obviou...

My comment was in reference to a Non-TSA lock being placed on luggage not on the gun case, I even put the forum member's own words in bold to illustrate that. I had a flight earlier this month and used a TSA lock on my luggage but used a regular Non-TSA masterlock on my gun case. Even there, if the...

If a Non-TSA lock is used TSA has the authority to cut it, . . . That's not 100% correct. If it is a hard-sided case with a declared firearm they do not have that authority. Legally, you (gun owner) are required to have all the keys for the duration of the journey (you can unlock the case for the T...

Just got my TX CHL but have carried before in other states.

Two: Glock 22 gen 4 if I can wear a belt. P3AT if I am going beltless (gym shorts and the like).

A smidge over 60 days (I was traveling when card arrived so no exact count ). Did everything the same as AustinCHL (electronic all the way, took first fingerprint appointment available after submitting app, scanned docs and uploaded via contact us) but I have never been arrested. Never talked to any...

Benchmade says: Automatic Knife Notice Note: Any automatic knife (button activated spring-opening) returned for Warranty or LifeSharp service from outside of Oregon must also include either a signed copy of the "Auto Knife Opening Acknowledgment Form", your web account username if you have...

Yup, that's the"fill side indicator on the gas gauge" I mentioned in my post. Handy things and great info/pic to share - "people should know." :) Unfortunately not all cars have them. :(

I regularly drive two cars, one left-fill, the other right-fill. Only one of them has the fill side indicator on the gas gauge. I used to regularly forget which side was which until I realized: It doesn't matter. Gas pump hoses are long enough to reach the far side of a car or SUV. I now pull up to ...

Now that makes sense. :) Well...as much as anything to do with taxes ever does. E.g. think about this: If you buy 10 items at $9.99 each, that is 10*9.99*0.0825=8.24175. Rounded off that is $8.24 in tax, right? Nope. 9.99*0.0825=0.824175. Rounded off that is $0.82 in tax for each item. $0.82*10=$8.2...
