Re: A "first" when stopped by DPS last night

All most makes you not want to teach children that the police are their friends. I am an ex State LEO in my other life and my youngest son is a LEO in an East Texas town. I ride out with him ever 45 days. I have never seen the attitude that has been shown here in this thread from any of those fine ...

Re: I want to do business with other CHL's

I run an independent Mercedes Benz and BMW specialty repair shop in Houston. To say we are 2A friendly is a huge understatement. To say we are good mechanics is another. If I can be of assistance to anyone here just let me know. Mike Haven http://www.mphauto.com" onclick="window.open(this....

Re: What does "in printing" mean ( for a new CHL)?

The DPS representative I spoke to many times during my long wait led me to believe that the card was ready long before it was approved. I cant recall the exact discussion, it was not relevant to the issue at the moment. I can assure you they start the clock when your packet is received, not issued, ...

Re: What does "in printing" mean ( for a new CHL)?

The cards get printed very early in the process. They get ISSUED at the end. I dont think you are at the end yet.

Re: WTB AR .22 Conversion

I had my AR with an old M 261 kit out at the range this past weekend with some noob shooters. Gotta admit its a BLAST on swinging steel with an Aimpoint and a bucket of cheap 22 ammo. Everybody had fun with that gun. The EBR with the bipod and heavy SS barrel did not evoke any requests from the lady...

Re: NRA Life Membership deal back in effect?

I have no intention of lying to save 200 bucks. If it is a program that is in effect , as I thought I read earlier I dont mind taking advantage of it. If its not available to me, as I said, I am prepared to buy in at 500.

Re: Not sure about this...

I have owned a PPK/s for 25 years, and just recently got a PPS. The K is ideal for appendix carry in a light holster. its a dress gun. The PPS is a little bigger, more powerful and lots lighter. Still waiting on a holster for it to see how it carries. Both have been completely reliable so far.

Re: ID in the home...

If one is in ones home or on property under ones direct control , there isn't any reason for a CHL correct? One could open carry, conceal whatever right? IANAL but I think that's correct. You would not be guilty of UCW (46.02) if you're carrying on your own property without your CHL in your possess...
