Re: Empty Holster in Secure Locations?
These are very good suggestions. I will write this up very carefully tonight and pull the photo of the displayed signage off my phone for their review. Maybe we can get this changed or the rules clarified and posted. Thanks! EDIT: I think I'll also take a photo of the Supertuck holster (so they will...

Re: Empty Holster in Secure Locations?
A little more about my experience... When I originally declared an "empty concealed inside-the-waistband holster" after failing to get through the metal detector (the metal detector was extremely sensitive and causing lots of problems and slow-downs), the sheriff's officer who was running ...

Re: Empty Holster in Secure Locations?
I'm standing on the street waiting for the bus to take me back to the parking area to drop off my holster. Not only was it a problem, but I was asked to remove it in the presence of the ret of the jury cattle call and denied entrance. I was told, "someone is going to see that and panic", w...

Do you have the new metal clips or the older plastic ones?KC5AV wrote:I wore my supertuck through the metal detector at the courthouse the last time I had to register my truck, and it didn't go off. I think you're probably good to go.
I just received the new clips through their fantastic warranty program...

Empty Holster in Secure Locations?
In the mail today I received a summons to report for jury duty in three weeks. Now I don't mind serving and I know I can't carry my Sig to court, but I have a Supertuck IWB holster I wear everywhere, and I'm wondering what to do. If I leave the holster at home, my waist size diminishes by about 2 in...

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?
Tex Calhoun is a pseudonym I used back when I was writing feature stories for magazines... especially when the author of the article needed to write authoritatively about horses, chili or barbecue. I think the name evokes the image of an Irish cowboy. "Tex" from Texas and "Calhoun&quo...

Re: 51% question
Okay, forgive me for asking a stupid question, but what does a 51% sign look like? I've tried looking them up on the internet, but haven't had any luck.
I guess I don't hang out in the right kind of bars.

Re: November '08 Applications
I've been watching this forum for about a month, trying to judge when my CHL will be complete based on the experience of others. By my reckoning, I'm guessing I may hear something by the end of the month. I'm a little worried about snags in my CHL though. I was stuck on the terror watch list for mor...

Re: Knoxx SpecOps stock
I have the same stock for my Mossberg 590A1. I highly recommend it. I've fired slugs and heavy-load 00 shot without any discomfort, and it allows my wife (4'11") and I (6'05") to both use the same shotgun because of the quick-adjustment on the stock. Congratulations on your set-up. The Rem...
