Re: Alien Gear

I'm getting a cloak tuck 3.0, cloak mod, and AG belt in the mail today! :woohoo Work can't go by fast enough! I think I may have ordered my belt one size too big though :banghead: I called them about it before it shipped and I was told they would have to cancel the order and place a new one, and tha...

Re: Kidnapping vs Aggravated Kidnapping

basically..... if you introduce a weapon into the deal, it's aggravated. ) I don't read anything about a weapon in part (a) a weapon is not a prerequisite for aggravated. Sec. 20.04. AGGRAVATED KIDNAPPING. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly abducts another person with ...

Re: Kidnapping vs Aggravated Kidnapping

It looks like one's about custody issues and the other is the "kidnap for ransom" or violent kidnapping. Think about joint custody and mom forgets to drop off kid at dad's for the weekend and so dad reports as kidnapping, or dueling state custody orders....etc. etc. This vs. stranger who ...

So what's the deal? If the abductor is super nice about it, no force is justified? :)
It reads that way... I don't care how nice an abductor is; they are not taking my child away from me without dealing with some force :fire

Re: First weekend carrying; ordered new holster

I have both the IWB and OWB versions of the Alien Gear. I also have several other traditional Leather/Hybrid combinations (Max Tuck, Crossbreed, Comp-Tac and several more). my 2nd or 3rd holster 6 years ago, was the Crossbreed and was my favorite for many reasons. Last year, I bought the Alien Gear...

Re: First weekend carrying; ordered new holster

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I fit test it. I think the belt is actually what I need more. My current belt isn't very stable when loaded and tends to twist, so I have to wear it overly tight. I'm also not happy with the retention on my current holster(s). being able to adjust it will be a big...

First weekend carrying; ordered new holster

I spent a lot of time carrying this past weekend with my fresh license! It was a good experience overall; but, my holster/belt setup became a little aggravating. Everything seemed fine carrying around the house while I was waiting. In the real world, where it's less practical to make adjustments, I ...

Re: "Waiting Room"

It takes much longer if you've ever had any arrests. & I mean ever- any time in your life no matter how long ago & no matter how minor. I had 2 arrests and it took 38 days from submitted docs to plastic in hand. I expected it to take longer because of my record. To say that it takes much lo...

Re: Another signage question

Thanks for the welcomes guys! I'm new to carrying too and a few concerns have come up before my 'walk' (got my plastic yesterday) It's my opinion that both signs should be at each entrance. That just makes sense. I won't be visiting this store anyway; I don't approve of their sign choices :lol: It's...

Another signage question

There is a store in my area with 2 entrances. The parking lot goes all around the store, so you would obviously use the entrance closer to where you happened to find a space... They have a compliant 30.07 sign posted on one entrance door and a compliant 30.06 sign posted on the other door. Depending...
